<![CDATA[Sync by userid not working any more.]]>I'm a long term user who still has a sync account with userid — but I can't enter a userid any more. I tried the email from my account but that didn't work either. Any ideas what I can do?

Currently running beta version 68.0.3618.5 — As the stable version is »"Not Responding" at Start-Up!«

I also tested sync on the mobile device and that didn't work either.

PS: I sent bug report as well

As far as I know, its a deliberated change.

I guessed that much. But that only changes the bug too: Migration to new sync is buggy. It's still a bug.

In Opera for Android you still can use your user id.

You can enter a user id but the sync is rejected when you click login.

My stable Opera has recovered and sync is still working on that installation. I suspect that I loose sync on any device needing a fresh login.

Of course the sync session expired so I tried to log in again and then I noted that »Sync by userid not working any more.«

Immediately I checked sync on the mobile. And to no surprise that didn't work either. Unlike the desktop I can still enter a user id but the login fails nevertheless.
