      its litteraly the worst option anybody ever made,it somehow deleted all my passwords which is great
      At least if you make that option for people who care about security,make a option that when i log into my account i dont need to type anything else to see my data,its useless

              @mftgamesyt And what one thing has to do with the other? You don't even use a passphrase to login to your Opera account.

              I remember have seen some people saying that their saved passwords had been lost, but I never saw it happening here.

              If the passwords are being removed both from Sync and from the devices, it may be a synchronization issue.

                    @mftgamesyt Hmm u did that your self or someone did it or u have created a new account mistakenly or otherwise or opera suspects you're not the owner of the account through fails logging attempts so they may decide to clear all/some sensitive info/data before allowing you to gain entrance/access. Finally if u recently reinstalled or cleared the app/program cache files you need to logging again with syncing enable in all obtions ranging from history, webpages, favourite, tabs , bookmarks to password etc for it to synchronized back your data from server/cloud.

                          @nsikakfriday There isn't. There is an option to use a passphrase to encrypt your synced data when using Sync, but you don't need a passphrase to login to your Opera account.

                            @leocg You're right. that's is what I meant to but fails to explain better. He thinks the passphrase cause it (deletion of his saved passwords)

                              @leocg I got new phone,logged in and in order to turn on password sync i needed to type my password again(what even is point of that?!) after i type my pass it only gives me option to reset passphrase
                              i tried Multiple times and same end,so i clicked reset passphrase,but that didnt do anything,just redirected me to login and loop.

                              After that i checked on my pc where im logged in and all my passwords are gone.

                              why did it delete all my passwords on my pc now?! it never did that
                              It only deleted saved passwords and thats it,nothing else

                                also, why would removing passwords from my account remove it from my pc too,thats a terrible design whoever made that

                                  @mftgamesyt If you have changed your Opera account password recently, you need to inform the old one in order to decrypt your saved passwords. Maybe that's why you were being asked to type your password again.

                                    @leocg yeah,and i typed in correct pass,and it only gave me option Reset passphrase

                                    also that doesnt explain why did it reset passwords on pc

                                        @mftgamesyt Why should I have one? I'm an user just like anyone else.

                                        Don't know if it's the case, but things like that can happen when you use a synchronization service.
