RebeccaIceQueen last edited by@burnout426 yeah probably my passwords would need to be backed up cause not all of them i have recorded down in a note for wordpad.

For passwords, goto the URL
opera://settings/passwords, click the 3 dots to the right of "saved passwords", and export your passwords to a CSV file. Then, open the CSV file in a text editor (Notepad for example), and make sure your passwords are there.Then, if you ever had to import that CSV file, in Opera, goto the URL
opera://flags/#password-import, enable the import flag, restart Opera, goto the URLopera://settings/passwords, click the 3 dots to the right of "saved passwords", and import the CSV file.With that said, once you have your bookmarks and passwords backed up, goto https://www.sync.opera.com/ and click "reset passphrase". Then, restart Opera and log back into sync to see if everything from your Opera syncs back fine.
If that works, you should be good to go. If not, reset your passphrase again, goto the URL
opera://about, take note of the "profile" and "cache" paths, close Opera, rename or delete the profile and cache folders, start Opera, close Opera, go into the profile folder (that's new now), replace its "Bookmarks" and "BookmarksExtra" files with copies of your backed-up ones, and start Opera. Then, when Opera starts, import your passwords.Once you have your passwords and bookmarks in the new Opera profile, with your Sync data already reset from earlier, you can log into Sync and see if everything works fine then.
If it still doesn't work, there might be some security software you have installed on Windows that's interfering. Or, it might be an issue with where you're located.

Or, you can wait a few more days to see if the issue just clears itself up.

@burnout426 I'll try all that in the morning cause as of right now it's 2:39am in the morning. Thanks for the steps on what to do. I'll respond to this post again in the morning or afternoon whenever I wake up to let ya know if the steps work or not. I know though that for the sync opera website though it's completely blank meaning the option to reset passphrase doesn't show so that I'd need to figure out something to fix for that. The screenshot I posted before showed just a blank website with the loading circle in the center. Which I know there is suppose to be 8 box icons and then above it the reset passphrase thing.

Understood. You could probably wait a bit before trying to reset things etc. since other users are now experiencing it too.

Yes, forgot since it's loading for me. Sorry. You can test in a different browser later just to see if the page loads there fine.

@burnout426 yeah I saw the Reddit post in which you posted my forum from here to it so at least I'm not the only one dealing with this.

I uninstalled the app from the phone to refresh it. Then nothing syncs for almost two days. When I open opera sync the wheel spins, no delete options or any content. But the problem is that I have an old account and when I open it everything is fine, on the phone with the old account everything is synchronized. For the second time I will lose all bookmarks. I'm thinking of giving up opera, ad blocker isn't doing up to par either lately.

@leocg not sure how you don't have the issue. maybe it a country based issue? cause it still not working for me when i tried opening it in settings.

@rebeccaicequeen The problem may be happening on a specific server, so not everyone is being affected.

@leocg that could be too. but it would say so on the status website if it was a server based issue

@rebeccaicequeen The status page doesn't seem to list the Sync servers. And there was some issues on some Opera sites/services recently according to that page.

@burnout426 Canada Nova Scotia. and still has the same issue. i seen in another post someone went as far as to make themselves a new account but i rather not go there just yet to do that and make a new account and hope it works of the sync between my pc and laptop, even though i have my bookmarks and passwords backup it just for the fact that my account has been active for so long i use to it and to make changes with a new account just don't seem right. it don't fix a problem but bypasses it to making new accounts that supposedly fixes things.

@burnout426 Australia. I've worked out it's my account. I created a new one and sync.opera.com works. I have no idea what to do from here. Starting a new account is not a solution.
