So basically...
To keep a long story short, my old pc got lots during repairs and ever since I was never able to find out my old opera password. This obviously means that I cant sync passwords because "I can't prove my idenidity" to my old passwords.

Is it possible to have my old data (everything before I changed my password in december/January) wiped and therefor have my passwords syncable again?

I have full access to my emal and phone number that is being used.
(not 100% sure if my phone number is even registered in my account)

Thank you

@slyfoxakay To decrypt your synced saved passwords, you need to provide your password.

@leocg Yeah exactly, I don't have that password because it's apparently a different one from the google password which is the account link I use to log in. I tried looking for any way to change the password but even if I changed it, would that fix the main issue?

@slyfoxakay It's your Opera account password.

@slyfoxakay Changing your Opera account password will not solve the problem, since the passwords were encrypted using the old password.

@leocg I forgot my opera password because I had it writen down on the pc that got lost during repairs. Again, I don't want to have my old passwords, I just want to be able to sync them. That's why I'm asking if the old passwords can be wiped

@slyfoxakay As I said, to synchronize your passwords you need to decrypt them and you need your old Opera account password to do that.

@slyfoxakay Yep, that's it. The only other way to recover your passwords would be by exporting them, what demands access to the old computer.
