        @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

                @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.
