This bug did not fix in the last version. How can they don't fix critical bugs for months? What a shame.
I have this bug on my PC and Mac.

I still have the issue, clearly "the other" accesses haven't "expired". Quite cumbersome.

I have this bug for at least a year now, Opera Developers are not the fasted bug hunters

Same issue here. I logged a ticket for this months ago and I was told to go into auth.opera.com and delete my "logged sessions", which does nothing. The multiple sessions don't disappear and continue to grow in number.
So many people complaining of this issue but I guess the Opera team doesn't care.

Same problem here! I have 2 computers duplicated once (on each device), but my android phone is not duplicated.

I have the same issue on my 4 devices (2 PCs, 2 mobile devices). The repeated synced sessions just do not "expire" and keep adding up.
I uninstalled Opera on all 4 devices (and deleted all user data) and reinstalled Opera on all of them with the latest version. More repeated synced sessions just showed up under "tabs" the moment I signed in with my Opera account.

yeah still the same. I recently reinstalled Opera on all my devices but it is still the same issue. Not useable at this stage.

I think I was able to solve it.
I:
- Backed up my passwords
- Unsynced from all my platforms.
- Deleted everything (Cookies, Autofill, cache, etc)
- Logged oout from My PC
- Looged out from my Phone.
- Re-logged on My PC
- Turned d off sync on the PC
- Re-logged on My phone
- Turned off Sync on my Phone
- Turned on Sync on my PC
- Turned on Sync on my Phone.
Hope this helps.
I haven't tried Flow, and I don't think I will, considering the amount of issues it had.

Ok, I also tried flow. Do not use the sidebar to synchronize it.
Instead use opera.com/connect. -

@berkut3000 any update on the synced tabs and if it's still repeating them.
If it's finally stopped doing it, I'll back up my passwords/save images of all my speed dials because sod remembering them all.
If not, then I'll be asking why nothing has been done a year since it was first reported as an issue

@tamikonatsu Nope. Nothing since the last time I checked a couple weeks ago. I recently switched back to Vivaldi, though, so it could have changed in the last couple weeks. This issue is one of the reasons I switched, plus the fact that Bitwarden doesn't work with Opera on my Android, and I absolutely need it to work with my default browser, so I couldn't sync between my Opera desktop and whatever android browser I was using. Now that Vivaldi has workspaces (instead of just the tab groups which didn't offer enough simple separation between groups), I'm happy to use it again.

@berkut3000 I followed your instructions but nothing has changed, the TAB list is still showing ~50 old entries.
I then reset all devices but no joy.
Then I uninstalled and reinstalled on all devices - no joy.I wasted half a weekend for nothing. I think the TABS are attached to the account. I don't have the time to try, but perhaps resetting and then uninstalling on all devices, then deleting the account here https://auth.opera.com/account/edit-profile and then signing up with a different name may fix the issue. Maybe someone can try and let us know.

The problem lies in how Opera devs handle the browser's device ID.
Currently, every time you close and reopen your browser, device ID isn't retained and a new one is generated, creating a new device in the tab list.
Seems like it's not a priority to fix this for them even though this bug has been there for over a year. -

If that was correct, I would have uncountable device listed, as I normally reboot Opera daily. But that is not so.

@peuuuurnoel It used to happen here, but it's been a while that devices are no longer accumulated on Sync.
Currently it lists only two devices, what is the correct number.

@leocg my tab list is long but does not seem to be growing anymore. Because there is no date or time I cannot tell when the last entry was made or if there is a new entry created everyday.
It seems that there is only one entry from my Android device in the tab list but multiple entries from both my laptops.
