Did Opera have a problem?
Because i have the same problem with synchronization like that
And as I remember that Opera need to passphrase to authenticate Sync but i didn't see anything menu to authenticate this when I updated Opera to new version -
wipo9476 last edited by wipo9476Guys there is a fix which is to delete the newer opera version and download opera 95 then you'll be able to see the paraphrase and sync succesfully. After that you can update to the newest version without any issues.
NB. Be careful not to click on the 'reset sync' from the settings since I missed clicked it and my date since 2018 has been wiped without any warning. I think it was a bug or something.
Have a great day! -

@wipo9476 Hold on, does that apply to Opera GX too ?
Coz that's what I'm using -

@sharpeyeam To be honest I haven't tried that, I only use the normal one.
I did a quick reseach and I could't find the 95 version of GX so hopefuly they'll drop an update and get it fixed -

Have a great day!Good solution, I re-installed Opera version 92.xxxxx. Then, I sync everything with my account and update to a new version. It was successful

I realized the manipulation I have DL version: 95.0 Build 4635.25 like version: 83.0.4254.27 of January 2022
and the anomaly is totally identical even if I completely clean all Opera or Opera GX residue from my computer -

tried a couple of times but after deleting manually the 3 folder paths in the about section
opera://about/
C:\Program Files\Opera GX
C:\Users(your username)\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable
C:\Users(your username)\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable
downloads are from here
https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera_gx/
then trying all the 95 versions (none worked)
but the 94 worked then after updating to latest version it still works ... sync is backthis is the one that worked for me (just make sure u have the right version (x64 or not))
https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera_gx/94.0.4606.96/
then select win or mac (but i guess its win users getting this problem)
Opera_GX_94.0.4606.96_Setup.exe
or
Opera_GX_94.0.4606.96_Setup_x64.exehope it helps for others ... but i think the key was deleting manually otherwise i would encounter errors uninstalling
good luck
PS: if you wanna save time prepare a copy paste of the links and account and your password cuz i think i tried alot of times

I use Opera gx everyday on my laptop. Now i have gotten a imac and I use both the imac and my macbook. On my laptop and imac I logged in and enabled all the syncing options. On the imac on the other hand I can log in and try to sync it but only a few things do sync. It says I need to confirm my password to sync the passwords stored in my account but every time i confirm it it just takes me back to the sync options not actually confirming anything.
Also on the imac, if i close the application it does not safe anything I logged in such as my opera account. I have auto delete cookies turned off so that should not be the problem. Both syncing and store account detail errors are on opera and opera gx on the imac.

This mornign I reinstalled windows and noticed that GX doesnt sync as it usually works. So checked my work PC and I wasnt logged in there. When I did so I got the same error there as well.
When I follow Sync here it navigates me to:
Where everything seems to be fine. My Opera account seems to have the data saved there, it just doesnt want to sync

Same Probleme here.
Opera GX not syncing. Because there is no option to enter the Passphrase!
I reported a bug via E-Mail
Nothing Happened!
Please We Need A Fix!
I do not understand how to install a previous version without loosing my opera bookmarks -

Not using the GX version, but I've had the same issue in Opera and just got version 97.0.4719.43 where the passphrase option is back again!
Adding my passphrase again has fixed the sync issue! -

@antoon1 What worked for me:
- On a second computer I installed Opera_GX_94.0.4606.96_Setup_x64.exe
- I copied the folders
C:\Users(your username)\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable
C:\Users(your username)\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable
from original computer to that new installation
3. signed in to opera account
4. opened https://www.sync.opera.com and reset the passphrase
5. On the new opera 94 install disabled sync
6. (maybe restart opera) enabled sync again on the new operagx 94 installation without a passphrase and wait at least 15 minutes to sync
7. On original computer uninstalled operagx(take screenshots of your extensions forst so you can reinstall them and export your saved passwords in settings by clicking the 3 vertical dots, to be save export bookmarks as well in bookmarks menue) and deleted all 3 folders C:\Program Files\Opera GX
C:\Users(your username)\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable
C:\Users(your username)\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable
8. installed Opera_GX_94.0.4606.96_Setup_x64.exe and signed in to opera account and enabled sync. now all your data is back
9. auto updated operagx to new version -

@robde This way sync works again without a passphrase and you do not lose your data.
Manually export and manual import of passwords and bookmarks would be also a simpler option. Simply export manually passwords and bookmarks and then uninstall and import on a fresh install manually
