After reinstalling my opera desktop browser, I forget the password so I reset it, now I am trying to get my passwords back but it not let me and only let me get the list of bookmarks, I tried to search in the old topic but I could not find a solution, is there any??

Note: I did not press on the reset of the passphrase and waiting to find a solution.

@HOss00770 Opera One, Opera GX or Opera Air?

@HOss00770 If you just reinstalled Opera, your data should have been kept. have you done something besides just reinstalling Opera?

Anyway, to get your passwords back from Sync, you will need to remember your old Opera account password. It's needed to decrypt the synced saved passwords.

@leocg I reinstall it after I had to reset my windows, so without the password that I forget as I did it more than 3 years ago, I will lost all my passwords?
and why does the bookmarks return till some point not totally, I was using opera for around 7 years.

@HOss00770 If you didn't export your saved passwords before resetting Windows, unfortunately you lost your passwords.

@leocg Thanks for you help anyway, it was a mistake, the funny story that I remember most of the passwords I have in the list, not the one for opera itself.
