          @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"

                                  @hebbex this actually did work for me as well. I did have to manually import my passwords from Chrome, but at least that bug wasn't displaying anymore. Thanks for the help!

                                      Steps: OSX OPERA with the password problem!

                                      Open Keychain Access application (what/where is this???)

                                      Choose 'login' keychain on left ~

                                      Choose 'Password' group

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

                                            @srhardy it's actually on your Mac. Press cmd+space and type 'keychain access'. I had the same issue. The problem is people don't know how to describe the steps properly.
