                @DiZzy123 Sorry, I forgot to add the error. So when I open this url opera://sync-internals, I get the following error for password sync (every thing else syncs successfully)

                Error: MergeSyncData@components/password_manager/core/browser/sync/password_sync_bridge.cc:590, datatype error was encountered: Failed to add an entry in the password store.

                    it's been 14 days since this thread was opened. and neither an answer nor a fix came from opera. Probably the best solution is to switch to another browser.

                              @hebbex Thank you so much! This worked for me!
                              In my case, there were 3 different Opera Safe Storage entries, so deleted all of them and then signed back again into Opera account. Then I selected Sync everything and voila!

                              Unfortunately, yesterday I switched to Firefox and I must say the UX on that browser is leagues ahead. I will possibly not be using Opera anymore 😞

                                  @hebbex Than you, Great. I did it and works perfectly, I think its because when you sync your iCloud settings backup the old one and if you install a new it cause a "block"

                                    additionally I had to click opera in the top left bar of my mac > import bookmarks and settings > import passwords

                                        @hebbex this actually did work for me as well. I did have to manually import my passwords from Chrome, but at least that bug wasn't displaying anymore. Thanks for the help!

                                            Choose 'Password' group

                                            Find 'Opera Safe Storage' entry, right click it and choose Delete."
