So far I haven't found a solution to this problem. Not by scrolling through this forum or by trying to follow the steps on how to sync accounts. Help would be appreciated.

I'm having the same issue. Was anyone able to find a solution?
Nope, only opera dev's can fix this but it seams they don't give a sh** about it

zalex108 last edited by zalex108I would like to share a WorkAround:
Despite Opera's Sync should work.A Passwords Manager.
Always at hand passwords on any System/Device instead on rely on any Browser's / OS 's Sync.
KeePass | KeeWeb [*] / CKP - KeePass integration / KeePass2Android / are a good combination.
- KeePass - Desktop | Windows | AddOns for Sync | + Portable version
- KeeWeb - Desktop | KeePass Update | Cross System - Web | Built in Sync
- CKP - KeePass integration - Extension (Chrome Store)
- KeePass2Android - Android
- iOS | There are, don't remember which one
[*] KeeWeb would be the easiest. Choose for yourself.

At this point, you'll be able to access your Passwords anywhere, anytime, for any App.

@zalex108 Security wise, is it all encrypted so KeePass cannot see your information, I have reverted to doing sensitive stuff on my laptop with all the extensions, for browsing securely on android smartphone have installed duckduckgo browser. Apparently Brave and Vavaldi browsers are worth looking at for security on Andriod

AFAIK it is secure.
Google it and read about.

Forgot to mention,
you could leave Banking passwords just locally stored, just create a different DB.On my side, had no problems.

Hi. There is an older and ongoing discussion at here . It describes very same issue. Would a moderator merge this with it? And kindly please discuss tihs issue at there for the sake of common input. Thanks.

@tarakbumba The other is about loading locally saved passwords while this one is about syncing those passwords.
Doesn't seem to be the same issue.

@leocg Please kindly read other topic again. It's not about locally saved passwords. It and this topic describes same complaints, same symptoms and thus same issue. We don't discuss that Opera can't save passwords. We discuss that it doesn't sync passwords and doesn't fill password fields. We all see blank page at "Saved passwords" setting.
Look at first post of other topic:
@look87 said in opera can't load password:it can't load password for some sites.the password saved in opera.but when I go to some site every time I have to fill password and username manually.pleas fix it

@tarakbumba it seems to me that the topic of the other thread is different. Although syncing is mentioned it is not the main issue. So no I'd prefer to keep the two topics separate.

On a brighter note. It seems that the issue for me has resolved itself. Now my phone is logging in on sites for which I saved my password on my laptop. I hope other people facing this problem receive the same stroke of luck or get a mod or opera employee to look at their particular case. I'll leave this topic open for others.

@tarakbumba So, there's no mention about syncing passwords there.
The original issue is about saved passwords not be working.

@leocg While I strongly disagree it's your call. It seems to me Opera doesn't save passwords locally but saves on servers. Thus both forum topics are about syncing passwords.

@tarakbumba It saves locally as far I know. On desktop it's saved locally for sure.

@leocg Try it with Opera Android. Disconnect your phone from net and look at Settings > Passwords >Saved passwords. I'm sure you'll be welcomed by a blank page instead of passwords. May be it stores passwords data to phone but it may still need to communicate with opera servers to get encryption key. What I don't understand that Chrome doesn't have this problem but is build on same chromium base.

@tarakbumba Did that and couldn't confirm, my saved passwords were listed.
