@bvul I'm having the same problem. Trying to sync across two new computers and it's not working on either of them. Luckily I still have access on my old computer, but it's not feasible to copy all of them manually from there.

Same situation. Passwords are not saved, and after closing everything is reset. And this problem only on mac os, Windows works fine.

@DiZzy123 Sorry, I forgot to add the error. So when I open this url opera://sync-internals, I get the following error for password sync (every thing else syncs successfully)

Error: MergeSyncData@components/password_manager/core/browser/sync/password_sync_bridge.cc:590, datatype error was encountered: Failed to add an entry in the password store.

it's been 14 days since this thread was opened. and neither an answer nor a fix came from opera. Probably the best solution is to switch to another browser.

Hi there pals. I've see a solution in another topic. And I tried. It worked for me. I hope it will works you for aswell

"Test this solution. Remove the Opera Safe Store password from Keychain Access login item.

Steps:

Open Keychain Access application

Choose 'login' keychain on left

Choose 'Password' group

Find 'Opera Safe Storage' entry, right click it and choose Delete."

@hebbex Thank you so much! This worked for me!
In my case, there were 3 different Opera Safe Storage entries, so deleted all of them and then signed back again into Opera account. Then I selected Sync everything and voila!

Unfortunately, yesterday I switched to Firefox and I must say the UX on that browser is leagues ahead. I will possibly not be using Opera anymore
