@kanczo Confirms this works on Pixel 7 Pro running Android 13, March 5, 2023 Security Update.
To clarify, if you have a Pixel:
- Scan code from phone, enter device fingerprint/pin if prompted
- Log in on computer, verify codes matched etc. until you get to this screen:
- Swipe up from screen bottom to get to the app switcher screen (do not close app all the way)
- Long press on the Opera icon above the app frame,
App info > Force stop - Reopen Opera on phone, open Flow, it worked for me.
Just spent 2 hours on this. Those devs have got something serious to fix, glad it's not me.

@jacksth22 Just tried this and it did not work for me. I have a P7P as well but with the June 2023 security update. I use Opera GX and all I'm getting is "Failed to Connect" errors. Am I missing anything?

Just upgraded to Opera browser v. 100 on laptop. Opera Flow on my ipad (also updated) no longer connected to laptop Opera Flow, and older data no longer there. Tried several times to connect; fails each time. However, I can connect my iphone Opera browser Flow. But I'm more interested in accessing info on ipad Flow. Frustrating

Hello. I also do not have a connection between Desktop Opera and My Flow phone. The latest version is installed on the Opera One PC (version: 101.0.4843.33), and on the phone 76.4027.73374. I am using Windows 11.

melving24 last edited byIf you ever try to connect My Flow from your Opera for Desktop with your Opera for Android, you may find out that "these devices never finish connecting" because Opera for Android give you a confirmation code that never shows up on your Desktop version. If this is your case, here is how to solve it:
On your Opera for Desktop, instead of open My Flow to scan the QR code, open this link
https://auth.opera.com/account/v3/desktop/login/scan-code. This link will give you a QR code to scan.On your Opera from Android, Opera My Flow and scan the preview QR code. After that, it will show you the confirmation code on this Desktop. Confirm it and done. Now you will have Opera Flow connected with your Android.
Note: If you are using Opera Touch on Android, this problem does not apply to you. Only for User that have Opera for Android installed.

Unfortunately this didn't work for me, I still get the failed to connect connection declined error. This is my last straw with Flow, it constantly breaks and loses all my sent flow, with no way to ever recover it

Thank you!
This worked for me. Spent much of yesterday and day before trying to get Flow to talk to each other. -

HanzoX7 last edited by@melving24 This worked for me, but I lost the items I had previously saved. They don't show up neither on desktop or phone. I thought this was saved on the web, somehow... Kinda dissapointing. It seems this feature needs a lot of work.

I had the exact same issue. It would say on my PC that it connected successfully, but there was nowhere for me to confirm the code. It finally worked with the link you posted here, I just had to wait a little after scanning the QR code and the code showed up on the website and I was able to confirm it.

@melving24 Sadly, I get a blank white box instead of a QR code. I just don't know what to think. And on my phone, I open Opera's scanner and it won't scan. Just sits there.

I found a solution th the problem described by OP.
When your phone is on the "Follow thee instructions on other device" screen, just press the "Overview"(switching apps) button and force-close Opera. When you relaunch opera on your phone, flow should be already connected.It worked for me, it may not work for you, but i'm trying to help as much as i can.
Worked for me. Thanks.
