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

@hebbex Than you, Great. I did it and works perfectly, I think its because when you sync your iCloud settings backup the old one and if you install a new it cause a "block"
