@andreabug there is no way to sync betwin mac and pc. If you try it it just erase all saved info. I didnt find any way

stevenjcee last edited by@leocg This is only a temporary fix! Soon as I close and re-open Opera, all passwords are once again lost, and the "safe storage" app returns. Will Opera ever address & fix this infuriating bug?

@stevenjcee The idea of the workaround is to delete the "Opera Safe Storage" chain since Opera is having a problem reading it (due to some cert issue). Then, when you start Opera, it should create a fresh one that Opera can read where you should then be good to go and not have to do it again. The workaround is typically a one and done thing.
However, for some users, they have to do the workaround multiple times before it takes. I think the highest amount of tries I've seen a user have to do it is 17 maybe.
As to why there isn't a solution for this yet, not sure.

@burnout426 I get that, unfortunately, so far, it's been anything but a "one & done thing", and I'm getting really tired of having to constantly log in to every site manually. Hopefully, Opera fixes this pretty soon, or I'll have to use other browsers. Or maybe one of these deletions will hold, and won't keep re-appearing....

Re: Gmail logs out every time I reopens browser
Yes, not just Gmail for me, but all my accounts, even my sync account! I've tried disabling the "clear cookies upon exit" setting, but it still logs me out! Can you please help?

I use Opera for many years as my main browser, recently formatted the macbook and after formatting, when I close the browser or restart the computer it exits all accounts on all sites, the bookmarks continue but he disconnects, even the synchronization of opera and is showing that there was an error in synchronization but does not say what it is.
I have tried several things, enabled the encryption, enabled all cookies, checked that the exclusion of cookies are disabled when closing, reinstalled the browser several times, not even Opera GX solved, gives the same error.
Has anyone managed to solve this?

@leocg Not sure how this can be considered a "solution", as that "safe storage" file pops up every time I re-open Opera, meaning I still have to manually enter every password over & over again. I sure hope they can fix this bug, the sooner the better. And it's happening on two different devices with different Mac operating systems.

@burnout426 Thank you very much! This solution has so far worked for me. I did exactly as you said in your post, and Command + Q'd opera, opened it back up, and my opera account and everything was still there. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@stevenjcee User at https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/11d9pb2/comment/jhvd7zz/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 had to also delete the "Login Data" file in the profile folder to get things to work, so I updated the workaround steps to reflect that.

@burnout426 Thanks for the updated info. I've deleted the login data, and will see if that does the trick. I see the safe storage file has again re-emerged in my keychain folder, so I deleted it, yet again. And now I'll see if re-logging into sites will stick, next time I close & re-open Opera....
By the way, last night I updated Opera on my older MacBook Pro, and it is now back to its old tricks of running up my RAM & CPU usage! This was happening all the time, until one of the recent updates got rid of that issue. Now it's back again.... wonder what those crafty developers/programmers did this time.

This thread said the issue is Solved but i've tried the method above a handful of times and it still isn't working.
Would be nice to get an official fix for it rather than Opera relying on people in the forums trying something that doesn't work for everyone.

Hello everyone. I am still having this same issue where, whenever I restart my laptop and reopen Opera, all of my login information isn't saved. So I have to re-login gmail, youtube, and the whole shabam.
I tried the solution offered by user burnout above, where you delete the Opera Safe Storage in Keychain Access, but even then my info isnt saved. This solution is not working for me. Is there anyone else having the same issue?

@burnout426 I've done everything posted and more, a number of times, and still lose all my passwords every time, and still have that Opera Safe Storage show up in my Keychain! Why can't Opera just fix this with an update? I keep updating to newer versions, and still the same mess.... SMH
