@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.

@leocg said in Passwords don't sync:

I don't know why but I can't open the browser. Probably that's because I restored the system. I just can see the files in the location I mentioned above. Is it okay if I copy all of them and paste the same location of the pc where the new installation is?

@ozanknay Nope, you can't use your passwords in another computer or user, you need to export/import them or use synchronization.

Try installing Opera on the old computer, to see if can read the passwords.

@leocg I reinstalled it before deleting. Since it is a new installing, my passwords were not there. I think the only way is to try to launch Opera or maybe try to see the "wand.dat" file.

@ozanknay The file is Login Data, copy it to Opera's profile directory in the old computer and see if Opera shows your saved passwords.

If it doesn't happen, your passwords are most probably lost.
