              @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.

                    Hi there pals. I've see a solution in another topic. And I tried. It worked for me. I hope it will works you for aswell

                    "Test this solution. Remove the Opera Safe Store password from Keychain Access login item.

                    Steps:

                    Open Keychain Access application

                    Choose 'login' keychain on left

                    Choose 'Password' group

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

                            @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!

                                          Steps: OSX OPERA with the password problem!

                                          Open Keychain Access application (what/where is this???)

                                          Choose 'login' keychain on left ~

                                          Choose 'Password' group

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