      Using Version:70.0.3728.178 under Linux Mint 20. It used to save and sync passwords but I had a hard drive crash and had to reinstall everything. It no longer saves nor syncs passwords. Does anyone have a solution?

          @leocg Installed Version:71.0.3770.148. Still the same problem. It offers to save passwords but doesn't. Still not syncing.

            @LarryH You don't see the login info in the passwords manager when you ask to save it?

              @leocg Not sure what you're asking. I'm always logged into sync so when it asks if I want to save a password when logging into a new site and I answer 'save', it should save with no further action required by me. That's the way it has always worked.

                @LarryH After you have clicked on Save to store the login info of a page, do you see that info on the passwords manager (opera://settings/passwords)?

                  @leocg No, I tried to save passwords several times but settings/passwords is totally blank.

                    I know you're probably not a programmer, but Linux Mint 20 moved from python 2 to python 3. Do you think that this could have anything to do with the problem?

                      @LarryH No idea, sorry. How other Chromium based browsers behave?

                        @leocg Google chrome beta and Palemoon don't have this problem. I won't load Chromium as it's only available as a Snap package for Linux Mint 20.

                          @LarryH They are based on the same version of Chromium?

                            @leocg I have no idea what version of Chromium they're based on.

                                  @LarryH And Opera 71 is based on Chrome 85.

                                  Can you download and install Opera developer 72 to see if the problem also happens on that version? You can check the links at https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2020/09/opera-72-0-3806-0-developer-update/

                                    @leocg developer 72 saves passwords as it should. I'll give it a few minutes to see if it syncs the passwords.

                                      @leocg Syncing and saving is fully working in developer 72. Thanks for the suggestion.

                                      How do I mark this solved?

                                        @LarryH Thanks for checking. Probably a Chromium issue then.
