I navigated to ayth.opera.com to reset my passphrase. I did that just a minute before recording the video. So, the option was no longer there when I tried to do it again
-
Then I visited sync.opera.com and cleared site data
-
I tried logging in from settings and it kept showing me the signing in message no matter how long I wait (I recorded part of that so you get better understanding of the issue)
Thank you

@husein1993 Thanks for the recording. Strange that you are not able to come out of this issue. Btw i have found couple of deviation from steps i have mentioned before. We can give it another try but i am not sure if that will make situation different.
- When you vitis auth.opera.com for resetting passphrase, you should use opera for windows not opera on mobile.
- When you visit sync.opera.com for clearing site data, you do not need to sign into account, you just load page and clear site data.
If possible do this step if the problem still exist after above steps.
3. Can you also go to setting --> clear browsing data and uncheck all item and check "Cookies and site data". This will clear up all the cookies and site data.Hoping to hear a positive news from you

I have the same issue, and i'm also on a Huawei device.
The qr-code never gets recognised.
It seems that are two possible login screens when you select sync by other options --> sign in. Most often it takes me to the homepage but then i get a very quick message saying the servers are down at the moment from the device.
Seldom does it takes me to a login screen on the device/app. that login-screen has the same theme as to whatever it is set, in my case Darkmode-Orange.
Every time i log in i get a mail and i hear a Ding on my phone, desktop and tablet.
One time i got prompted to login again to sync but after i did that it was like i logged out, 'cause it was back to square one. To try to sync again.
I've tried to do this for 2-3 times now always with days in between but it don't work. and for me to start using opera on other devices i need my passwords synced.
Plz dont ask me for screenshots i'll prolly wont provide. /regards F

Yes, We can see your account in the system and it seems to be fine. Are you able to login to sync.opera.com using browser?

@JLLL Please try this and let me know if this is solving your issue.
- Open sync.opera.com in OFA browser (not from "sync and back up" but from browser addressbar)
- Click on top left icon in address bar and navigate to "site settings"
- Choose "Clear data" (This will clear data only for sync.opera.com)
- Go to "Sync and backup" and try to sign in.

This isn't exactly a solution. Doing so will delete all the preexisting data you are unable to sync. I had to manually copy hundreds of bookmarks and speed dial links before uninstalling and reinstalling the app. It did work, but I had to sacrifice hours of manual backup.

@husein1993 Sync, like any synchronization service, is not a backup service. So, removing your synced data will cause no issue other than have to upload the data to the servers again.
