Flow doesn't show QR code

If I go to the page opera.com/connect, I get this message instead of the QR code:

"Install Opera
In order to synchronize your devices you need to install the latest version of Opera for computers."

Needless to say, Opera is installed, updated, and it's the default browser.

I also tried to reinstall Opera but the page keeps asking to install it.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro 64bit Version 21H2 Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4180.0

Opera version: 92.0.4561.21

I had the same issue. The instruction that your mobile browser says to go to opera.com/connect is incorrect.

Instead click on the "Flow" icon in your desktop sidebar and sync your device that way. That's how I got it working.

Kinda weird nobody's answered this in 16 days.

Well, hope someone finds this when googling sync issues and latest version complaints.

Opera version: 93.0.4585.21
Windows 10 Pro N Version: 22H2 Compilation: 10.0.19045

Opera Android version: 72.3.3767.68685
Android 7

I had the same problem, and more... my phone was not able to read the QR Code shown by WhatsApp!
After a long time looking for a solution, I found in this forum, one that partially solved the problem.

Resolution:

• I completely uninstalled the windows version - all folders and files related to the Opera installation.
• Installed from scratch version: 89.0.4447.91 from: https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/89.0.4447.91/win/

With this version (89.xxxx), everything worked, My Flow and WhatsApp!

Then, after Opera autoupdate to the version mentioned above, the problem related to WhatsApp came back - The phone can't is unable to read the QR Code!

As for My Flow, I don't even dare to turn it off and try to turn it back on... but, it is working!

So, I think these problems started with versions: 9x.x.xxxx.xxx.
I'm hoping that the Opera team will be able to fix these problems...

Simply change the theme of browser to the light mode, not dark or balanced mode. Is working very well for me.
