Opera has been my default browser for years. In the past when I got a new computer my passwords and bookmarks always transferred with no problem; however this time around, I can't get my passwords to transfer to my new computer and this is causing me a headache. Please, how to I recover all my stored passwords?

@seasun21 Are you logged in to Sync and passwords synchronization is enabled?

Logged in and password sync is enabled but so far only 2 passwords are showing and those are the 2 most recent passwords I saved.

@seasun21 In opera://sync-internals/, the board under Type Info shows that passwords syncing is running? It's green?

Check on all synced devices.

@leocg Thanks for baring with me but, maybe I don't understand: "opera://sync-internals/, the board under Type Info shows that passwords syncing is running"

Is this what you're talking about?

@seasun21 Yes

How many passwords are listed in sync.opera.com?

@seasun21 So it seems that all synced passwords are now on your new installation.

If you had more saved passwords in the old computer,they weren't synced.

Exactly, and that's the problem. More than 10 years of saved passwords gone. It's a huge headache which has me switching back to Chrome where I can access Google saved passwords.
Is there any way to recover my old Opera passwords?

@seasun21 They were listed there in sync.opera.com before?

@seasun21 If you still have the old computer or, at least, the old disk with all its contents, maybe you can recover the passwords.

Unfortunately the computer was sent to HP for repair, and it was deemed unrepairable, so they sent me a new one. I though maybe Opera had cloud storage, since I was always able to transfer bookmarks and passwords to new computers. Oh well, back to Chrome.

@seasun21 That cloud storage would be Sync, although it's a synchronization service and not a storage/backup one.

But, unfortunately, your old saved passwords weren't synced.
