@retudey You mean your account password or the passphrase?

Your account password you change at https://auth.opera.com/account/edit-profile. To chnage the Sync passphrase, go to https://www.sync.opera.com/ and click on Reset Passphrase

@leocg but won't this lead to the loss of previously saved passwords?

@pokerstar If you reset your passphrase, your synced data will be deleted from the servers but it should not affect the data saved on your Opera installations.

@leocg This is the problem, I reinstalled Windows and there is no access to passwords now. And there is no clue for the code word

@pokerstar Not really related to the topic, but try your old Windows login password.

@leocg Windows was without a password, but through Opera support, I can somehow recover the code word? The old Windows is on another hard drive, I found a file with passwords there, but it doesn't work on the new one

@pokerstar Your saved passwords are encrypted using your OS login credentials, that's why you can't use the login data file in a different OS installation or with a different user.

@pokerstar Did you change your Opera account password recently? If so, then you may need to provide the old password to have access to your synced saved passwords.

@leocg yes, I changed the password several times, as far as I can remember, if I remembered the old password, I would not need it

@pokerstar If you don't remember the old password for your account, then you probably lost access to your synced saved passwords.
