My Flow: Can't connect desktop and phone topic

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. -

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.

Need to not use the flow option on the sidebar, just go to opera.com/connect in a new tab. Then you will need to disable opera's own tracker blocker. Should be straight forward instruction following from there.

@biske bro u just saved me. apparently opera is just not redirecting the user to the right link, so the user cannot check the matching code. i just typed the link you posted and it magically sent me to a page with the verification code, so i just checked it and it worked! thanx a lot my man.

Using latest MacOS Opera One(version: 106.0.4998.52) (x86_64) and latest iOS version - flow's not connecting by any method (but most here is about Android as I can see)
If you have any fresh updates for iOS, please let me know
Thank you

@kanczo the fact that it's currently February of 2024 and this problem still exists is wild to me, being that this thread was started in 2022 .-.
I'm so glad that that solution worked for me, cause I tried so many different things to try and get it to connect before stumbling across this topic.
