@hopkinsthemovie The data on your Opera installations should still be their on your devices. If that is not the case, you will have to manually add it.

@leocg Nobody has time to manually re-enter every single password. There should be a way to revert those changes so that I get my passwords back.

@hopkinsthemovie For that and other reasons, it's important to always have a backup of crucial data.

By the way, the only way to remove data from your Opera installations is by doing it locally.

@leocg Mozilla has a data request form, Opera should too.

@hopkinsthemovie And they have it for deleted data? Or it's just for the current data, like many other services have?

@leocg I have yet to confirm if Opera has such a request feature. On top of that, I can't even access sync.opera.com to see if my passwords are archived there.

@hopkinsthemovie And why you can't access the page?

@hopkinsthemovie Do you get the same in other browsers? Seems a server issue.

@leocg I get that same issue with other browsers.

And now, I am able to view the sync page, showing I still have the 26 saved passwords on there, but they are encrypted.

@hopkinsthemovie Now login to Sync (the service, not that web page), so that your data, including the passwords, can be synced and used.

@leocg However, I forgot my passphrase.

@hopkinsthemovie Then the only way would be resetting it and your synced data.

@leocg I do not want to lose my only chance at recovering the synced data.

There should at least be a way to download my encrypted passwords from Opera Sync.

@hopkinsthemovie You couldn't read them without the right password anyway.

@sgunhouse It's either my passphrase or my previous account password that can be used. However, I have forgotten both.

There needs to be another way to access those encrypted passwords so as to recover them.

@hopkinsthemovie There isn't and, most probably, there won't be for security reasons.
