Passwords don't sync

@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.

@ozanknay In Opera's profile directory, check opera://about for the path.

@leocg I did but nothing happened. As a last solution I will try to launch Oper in the old computer by looking Microsoft forums about how to do it. Thank you.

@leocg I thought I could see the passwords in Opera file directory?

@ozanknay The only way to access the old saved passwords would be by exporting /syncing them in the old Opera installation, like I said.
