@twizy Don't know where the symbols in my reply came from. I must have clicked on something by mistake.

The passphrase is the password used for sync, not the one you use to sign in to Opera. Though I am not a hardcore Opera user, I believe opera would allow any user that remembers their password to get the passphrase. Here’s something that I found on the web.

In your computer's Opera browser:

• Go to Settings.
• Click Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Privacy & security.
• Under Autofill, click Passwords.

I hope it helps!

@kanikavatsyayan The probleme is that, I need that Passphrase to recover my passwords, My browser got reset so losing all my passwords was a big problem since it was my only way of knowing some of them but thanks for trying to help

@kanikavatsyayan Passphrase is an additional password that you can add in order to protect your synced data.

You login to Sync using your Opera account password, the sane used to login in these forums.

As far as I know, passphrase is stored locally, so there is no way for Opera to recover it.

@cg-109 Opera cannot access any of your data. If they could you'd be reading about people stealing your data by phishing attacks, so be glad it is secure.

@leocg Thanks mate! That's a great news to hear. I was afraid that I set some stupid phrase like 6 years ago and there's no way I can remember it, but since it's only registration data, even tho I had to change my Opera e-mail I still saw recent one(while changing) and easily can guess 2 more possible option that might be used.

Once you delete your synched information to make a new password is there any way to retrieve this information again?
