      @chubners I'm glad to see you got it going again! I've spent hours dicking around with it and still can't get it working.

      I'd like to try your approach but am not sure I understand what you mean by "You have to disconnect both phone and desktop on settings and then delete Flow completely". Would you mind terribly if I bother you for step by step instructions? I'd love to get flow working again.

        @chubners ufff... this might sound harsh, but I don't see the flow as a storage of important information.

        It totally feels as something which allows you to temporarily transfer stuff from one device to another. Maybe it's just me who feels that way because I'm a web developer. I also remove all messages from the flow regularly to keep it clean.

        I know you where not expecting to loose this information and this sucks. Seeing this service as a save place to store important things was a little naive, though 😕
        Another thing: When you deleted your flow, didn't you see the message which states that everything will be gone?

        @SonicWeaver Step by Step? There is only one way. Also on the mobile phone, it's easy to find at "My Flow" -> Burger Menu on top right -> Settings -> Delete My Flow

          @m4ssacre I have spent hours screwing around to get Flow working on my Note 9 and have tried every suggestion on this thread. I understand how to delete the flow from the cpu and phone and have tried that but it still doesn't work it. But does work with 2 other phone with no problems.

          I am asking how chubners what is meant by - "You have to disconnect both phone and desktop on settings and then delete Flow completely".

          How do you disconnect both the phone and computer?

            Have you allowed the permissions required so that Opera Touch works properly?

              @duck202 Yes. Other than Flow Opera Touch works fine. It fails at the scan and manual code input.

                      Is there anybody from Opera developers here who reads and care about us?

                        I have the same problem. Opera for Windows ver: 69.0.3686.40, Opera Touch 2.5.2 for Android. I discovered the problem when trying to connect another desktop. Of course it failed to connect. I disconnected all devices
                        (big mistake because I lost everything that was on My Flow), disabled adblockers (but that is so stupid.. it used to work with ad blokers!) and even re-installed Opera for Windows.
                        I also cleared cashe of my mobile Opera. It connect to only one dekstop. It fails to connect another.
                        The desktop is called "desktop" on the list of connected devices - when My Flow used to work correctly "desktop" had its name which was vivible in This PCs properties.

                          So what worked for me was to go to the phone, and disconnect the computer in question, and on the computergo and "disable flow". Then shut down opera on the PC and reconnect. It worked on the first instance for me.

                            Great but it works only for one Desktop. Have you tried to connect another desktop? Well it fails for me.

                              Dear Everyone,

                              I've got the same problem connecting a new destop of mine and my phone. I have already deleted the old desktop, to which I could only connect the same phone with the manually entered code (the QR didn't work). However, I can't connect Opera Touch on my Nokia 6.2 and Opera on Windows 10 Pro desktop.

                              Upon opening Flow's connect a phone menu, I even tried jumping to the QR code reader in Opera touch and it told me it was not possible to connect these two devices.

                              Does anybody happen to have a solution to this? I also tried disabling my firewall on the desktop, but that didn't work, either.

                              Thanks

                                OK, after many days trying it, I found the solution (for me at least) and it is very simple:

                                • Go to your phone's flow -> top-right menu (three dots) -> Settings
                                • Under "My Flow" select "Delete My Flow"
                                • Scan the QR Code again to connect. Voilà.

                                    Hi, your solution means that my already connected desktop will disconnect. Of course I can delete "my flow" and connect mobile phone with PC. What I cannot do is connect another PC to already connected PC number 1 and mobile.
                                    My current Opera ver 69.0.3686.77
                                    Opera Touch 2.5.2

                                    Anyone have a solution how to connect more than one desktop and mobile phone all together? e.g. 2 desktops and one mobile phone?

                                          @Mixbox99 You're right, I just use 1 connection between my phone and computer. I thought all PC browsers connected to the same account (so not using the QR code) would share the same flow (?)...

                                            @mwfontes But it used to work like a year ago or two years ago... I don't know when exactly it stopped. I had to reset my PC to factory settings in late June 2020 and this is when I found out I am no longer able to connect more than one PC.
                                            In order to connect more than one PC I uded QR code - it connected PC to already exisiting Flow with its content. But back then Opera used to distinguish PCs but their name e.g. hp probook 450 or DELL Vostro 3456. Now it says just "desktop".
