Unable to sync passwords

Hi, I have enabled syncing passwords on my opera devices ( laptop and android phone). Yet for some reason I still have to log in to all the sites manually whenever I try to visit a site for which I have a log in. How can I fix this?
Kind regards.

@dodobird1991 By login manually, you mean that you need to type your username and password?

@leocg that's correct. I was hoping syncing my android with my laptop would copy the passwords memorized by my opera laptop webbrowser over to my phone.

So this is how support treat it's user...When they don't know what's wrong let's just not answer.
I'm really disappointed...sync is one of the most important feature of any browser and that's why I must switch back to my old browser cuz if one thing that worked perfectly with it every single time it's sync.

So far I haven't found a solution to this problem. Not by scrolling through this forum or by trying to follow the steps on how to sync accounts. Help would be appreciated.

I'm having the same issue. Was anyone able to find a solution?
Nope, only opera dev's can fix this but it seams they don't give a sh** about it

zalex108 last edited by zalex108I would like to share a WorkAround:
Despite Opera's Sync should work.A Passwords Manager.
Always at hand passwords on any System/Device instead on rely on any Browser's / OS 's Sync.
KeePass | KeeWeb [*] / CKP - KeePass integration / KeePass2Android / are a good combination.
- KeePass - Desktop | Windows | AddOns for Sync | + Portable version
- KeeWeb - Desktop | KeePass Update | Cross System - Web | Built in Sync
- CKP - KeePass integration - Extension (Chrome Store)
- KeePass2Android - Android
- iOS | There are, don't remember which one
[*] KeeWeb would be the easiest. Choose for yourself.

At this point, you'll be able to access your Passwords anywhere, anytime, for any App.

@zalex108 Security wise, is it all encrypted so KeePass cannot see your information, I have reverted to doing sensitive stuff on my laptop with all the extensions, for browsing securely on android smartphone have installed duckduckgo browser. Apparently Brave and Vavaldi browsers are worth looking at for security on Andriod

AFAIK it is secure.
Google it and read about.

Forgot to mention,
you could leave Banking passwords just locally stored, just create a different DB.On my side, had no problems.

Hi. There is an older and ongoing discussion at here . It describes very same issue. Would a moderator merge this with it? And kindly please discuss tihs issue at there for the sake of common input. Thanks.

@tarakbumba The other is about loading locally saved passwords while this one is about syncing those passwords.
Doesn't seem to be the same issue.

@leocg Please kindly read other topic again. It's not about locally saved passwords. It and this topic describes same complaints, same symptoms and thus same issue. We don't discuss that Opera can't save passwords. We discuss that it doesn't sync passwords and doesn't fill password fields. We all see blank page at "Saved passwords" setting.
Look at first post of other topic:
@look87 said in opera can't load password:it can't load password for some sites.the password saved in opera.but when I go to some site every time I have to fill password and username manually.pleas fix it

@tarakbumba it seems to me that the topic of the other thread is different. Although syncing is mentioned it is not the main issue. So no I'd prefer to keep the two topics separate.
