However, you can add any suggestion or feature request in this section of the forums.

As I wrote above, resetting the data should not affect (touch) your settings and data, stored on your devices.
So you can try to backup the above mentioned files, reset the data, then check if sync/signing in works again. If so, then sign out from the account, close the browser, and overwrite the files with the backups - that way, you will restor your proper items, even if they were duplicated with the sync.

I am happy to inform this post is via beta 68...5.
I followed your instructions, and when downloading Opera opened a brand new version (eg: no bookmarks or my beta user default settings).

However, I backed up my 67....28 profile and copied it into the new beta version (68....5) then removed the new beta profile and restarted.

Beta 68....5 then opened as normal together with all my bookmarks and settings.
Only when satisfied that all was well after 24hrs, did I remove previous beta versions - 67....28 and the problem 68....3.

I confirm all is running well and thank you for your kind assistance with my problem.
A thousand thumbs up my friend from this very long standing and loyal user 🙂

Opera with the switch "--user-data-dir="/path/to-fresh-profile", and see if this even fixes the signing in issue.

I have both stable and beta opera. And now that the stable Opera has recovered I can confirm that sync with stable is up and running. I tried the --user-data-dir= option as well and could not log in.

(Having created another 2 dozen duplicates outside the speed dial.

I moved some bookmarks into folder and now I have then twice: Inside the folder and in the original location. Another case of delete and move not synchronising correctly. Is adding a universal id to every entry to reliably detect move and delete that difficult?)

I'm still reluctant to reset because I fear I might loose sync entirely not being able to use my current opera account to create new sync data.

Besides that, you can simply backup your Bookmarks, BookmarksExtras and Favicons from your current profile, before you sync your data, if you successfully sign in that case. After that, sign out from the account, close the Opera, overwrite the files with the backups, and relaunch the Opera.
By the way: the items from another device's Speed Dial are anyway placed under separate/dedicated folder under "Other Speed Dials", so that will not be duplicated for sure.

Delete the data? Not my most favourite course of action. Sounds like a sure way to get syntonisations conflicts as soon as I log in on the 2nd device.

I have been deleting duplicates all over the place in the last two month or so. The prospect of even more duplicates doesn't make me happy.

Also: I didn't forget my passphrase so is that really the correct course of action?
