      Hello, just installed Opera GX and i wanted to sync with my Opera account, I forgot password (obviously) and i resetted it. Now I want to sync all my passwords (I need to know my old password, but I remembered I can check it on classic Opera 😛 ).
      So for now, I know my new and my old password, but still can't sync the passwords on the opera GX, when I enter my old password in sync settings - basically nothing happens.

        @imphenzer Sync doesn't ask for your old password?

          It does ask me for old password, and nothing happens when I enter it. Just nothing, no notification, nothing.

              I have same problem.
              I can log Opera fo synchronization but without passwords.
              Opera is unable to synch it using old password or reset storage passwords.

                I have this :

                Passwords:

                Opera is unable to sync pass due to encryption by opera accunt password with has been change.

                Options :

                You can porvide old password (Does not work ) or reset saved /storage password in sync service (neither works too).

                I can click button but after opertarion pass sync have same info.

                Something is wrong with sync service ?

                    @icceman It seems that you need to provide your old Opera account password.

                      @imphenzer So you enabled password sync, typed your old Opera account password and password sync isn't working?

                        @leocg Yes, password sync is enabled, I got same message ac icceman, and when i enter old password (which I got from classic opera password section after i resetted it) it still says opera is unable to sync pass. Anyway I managed to enter all passwords I needed for now but this bug or whatever it is should be worked on.

                          Solution : clear all data by opera website on sync service and resync again from PC. And after this pass sync start working.

                            @icceman yes it worked. Login to Opera Sync> Reset Passphrase> then Login to Opera Browser and start sync.
