      Passwords won't sync, and when asked to confirm identity it asks for a password I don't remember putting in. I've been logged into Opera through my Gmail this whole time, and the password I set for my Gmail does not work here. I've tried logging out and clicking on forgot password, but no email has ever been sent to me.

        this is complete a messed up issue, I feel compete insecure about it! all my devices synced with wrong passwords. The problem only on passwords that has the same URL but used different username but all passwords are same .

        I was lucky that just previous day I had manual export . Really that changed my world.

          I just found out that I have exactly the same issue only using Android devices Opera and not using update passwords because I didn't change any of them. Pw for same domain all changed to same pw and that's something opera did on it's own . 4 Google accounts and two Instagram have same pw. This is insane .

            Hello, i've noticed that since about 2 days my synced passwords are all messed up! Most of the Passwords (auto fill) i've tried don't work anymore as they've been messed up with other passwords!

            I'm using the latest version of opera on windows 10+11 and Android with Opera Sync enabled!

            Does anyone else have a similar problem? is there a way to restore them?

            I got this issue so many times.

              I have repaired my passwords 3-4 times but opera still changes all passwords with the same url! How much longer to wait for the fix, before we go for another browser? ??

                @anakioski Are you using Opera Sync too or does it happen without Sync also?

                  I'm experiencing the same issue: for any site where I have multiple accounts, all the accounts' password have been set to the same password. As I have Sync enabled, now the issue is spread across all my devices and there is no way of recovering the correct passwords.

                  Years of password management, which is the reason why I'm still sticking to Opera, are now gone.

                    Same here on my opera gx!
                    I've got over 2000 passwords in opera gx. All of them are messed up. On all my devices! Windows, ios, android, macos...
                    For example on gmail i have 10-15 different mail addresses and different passwords for each.
                    Now opera says i have 15 mails and one password, same password for all emails.
                    So one combination is correct and 14 others are wrong.
                    How on earth could this happen?
                    A big disappointment....
                    Any ways to fix?
                    I believe not!

                      with yesterdays opera update the problem seems to habe been solved! Finally! but to be safe for another time, i'm going to export all passwords and save them locally

                      wrong passwords got fixed automatically?
                      or you had to fix them manually and not messing up anymore?

                      If it fixes itself i will wait.
                      Otherwise for 2000+ passwords to fix manually, i will definitely change my browser. sadly.

                            Hello, sorry about our late reply, but we'd like to investigate on Opera for Android side. Please answer the questions below.

                            • Does it only happen when synchronization is enabled? If so, which Opera products are connected? (e.g. PC and Opera for Android)
                            • Some example sites and how many accounts for one of the reproducing sites? (e.g. we have got a report about Xiaomi account and FB)

                              @burnout426 I'm using sync . That happened while using sync and without logout.
                              One morning all accounts connected to one domain got same passwords . I saved my self using pc export passwords as a file (pc was offline fortunately) and using that to import and than sync devices . Didn't happen after that.

                                  @xpatze85x Nope, I am using the latest versions on all my devices (6 or so), and this issue still persists on all of them

                                    Me too, I've been struggling with this issue for over a year.
                                    Opera GX
                                    LVL4 (core: 97.0.4719.89)
                                    System:Windows 10 64-bit

                                    Different accounts of the same website have all the same password now. Not what I would call a smart password management system..

                                        --> yes, for me PC Opera GX and Opera Android
                                      • Some example sites and how many accounts for one of the reproducing sites? (e.g. we have got a report about Xiaomi account and FB)
                                        --> many sites are affected, and passwords are even messed up between sites

                                        Please fix this! I have the same problem, all of my passwords are the same for each website. I have sync on and 1 android opera and 1 opera pc for windows. I tried fixing the passwords but at the next day they all changed to the same one again. That happened with google accounts, instagram, riot games etc. This is not usable anymore. I'm changing to another browser if this isn't fixed fast...
