Problem with synchro on new computer

I have 2 problems with synchro:

1. passwords in Opera on a new computer. Despite being logged in and enabled, Opera does not synchronize passwords, and it doesn't import passwords from a csv file;
2. despite accepting all cookies, every time (also in Google), the sites ask for the acceptance of cookies again, as if I was there for the first time.
   My old computer has had MacOs, new computer also has MacOs.
   I went through all the settings on the old browser and on the new one, I checked them with the help of Opera, it seems that everything is properly enabled.
   What is happening and what can I do?

Best regards, Kinga

Hi Kinga, hope you are doing well!
I encountered the same issues with synchronization on Opera.
To resolve the problem with passwords not synchronizing and not importing from a CSV file, I followed these steps:

1. Ensure that you are logged in to Opera on both your old and new computers.
2. Go to Settings in Opera on your old computer and verify that password synchronization is enabled.
3. Export your passwords from the old computer as a CSV file.
4. On your new computer, also make sure that password synchronization is enabled in Opera's Settings.
5. Import the CSV file containing your passwords into Opera on the new computer.
   Regarding the cookie acceptance problem, here's how I solved it:
6. Make sure that you have enabled cookies in Opera's Settings on both computers.
7. Clear the cookies and browsing data on both your old and new computers.
8. Restart Opera on both devices.
9. When you visit websites, accept the cookies prompt once again.
10. Check if the websites still ask for cookie acceptance upon subsequent visits.
    By following these steps, I was able to resolve the synchronization issues with passwords and the recurring cookie acceptance requests. Hope it is helpful for you.

Hi @jayne4-cunningham. Thanks a lot for your answer and advice.
Unfortunately it doesn't work. It was one of the first things I checked while struggling with the browser. It was obvious for me, but thank you very much for your effort it was very nice

Now I temporarily solved the problem.

1. I uninstalled Opera on a new computer and reinstalled it from scratch.
2. I didn't enable synchronization on the new Opera.
3. I imported bookmarks from an html file.
4. I imported passwords from a csv file.

Opera started remembering cookies and passwords.
However, after turning on the synchronization, the problem with cookies and passwords repeated - Opera didn't save them again.
So I re-installed it and didn't turn on sync anymore.
Now it works, but when I working on another device, I've to export bookmarks and passwords manually, to work with the current settings.

So I'm not satisfied with this solution, but for now I have no other choice. I'm still looking for a solution and ideas, but so far nothing helps.
If anyone knows what the problem is, I'd greatly appreciate the help.

@jayne4-cunningham once again many thanks.
