        @leocg The first option is selected; do you want me to select the second one (Encrypt all your synced data with your own passphrase)?

            @ozanknay No need to.

            When you enable passwords syncing, what do you get?

              @leocg Nothing. All bookmarks are available but history and passwords are not. There's only one password I can see, and that's auth.opera.com. My synchronized contents are here and it says there's only one password and says encrypted information.f0911887-79d1-4f17-957c-504b5e631912-image.png

                @ozanknay So you enable passwords sync and there is no error message?

                    @ozanknay Then everything seems fine.

                    The board on the far right of opera://sync-internals shows that syncing is running fine, including passwords?

                          @leocg no, because I have more than 2 passwords, about 100 maybe more.

                            @ozanknay So in the passwords manager you have more passwords listed?
                            Or those passwords are in another installation? Password is sync is enabled there?

                              @leocg no, there's only two passwords listed there. Those passwords were in another installation. Let me tell you from the very beginning:

                              About a week ago, my computer broke down and I had to give it to the repair. In the mean time, I used another "backup" computer. I set up Opera in that pc and logged into my Opera account and syncronised my datas (all history, bookmarks, passwords etc.). Then my main pc were repaired and I uninstalled the Opera in "backup pc". As I've said my main pc were repaired and another Windows were set up (Windows 10 now, it was 8.1 before). I installed Opera and tried to log into my account. I managed to log in but I was not able to have the passwords. Then I reset my passphrase. Then nothing happened and I started this topic.

                                @ozanknay As I said, when you reset your passphrase, you also reset your synced data. It means that your data stored on sync servers were removed, that's why there is nothing to be synced.

                                  @leocg Now I think I remember something. When I installed Opera to my repaired pc, I was so fast that I couldn't see the "password" option in the syncronization section. I mean password section were unchecked and "encrypted" was written on it. So, I guess it didn't syncronize my passwords. Keeping that in mind, is there any way for me to get passwords back?

                                    @ozanknay Unless you have another computer with an Opera installation where those passwords are still saved, there isn't.

                                          @leocg forgive me, edit: I restored the system back to 2 days ago and now I can reach the Opera files that I deleted yesterday. I went to C:\Users\DELL\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable. Now, what should I do?

                                            @ozanknay Open Opera in that installation, login to sync, enable passwords sync and wait.

                                            You can also export your saved passwords. And then import them in the new installation.
