The Answer
go to https://opera.com/connect instead of connecting with the sidebar.
@terrorfox-tech This is (for now) the answer until the sidebar method is fixed. Thank you. -

i am also facing the same problem with conformation 6 digit code where to enter it always redirects to opera account page, i thing its probably a glitch or a technical bug which need to be addressed by OPERA. -

This was resolved by @TerrorFox-Tech months ago. His solution was "I had the same problem but was able to work around it. The key was to not do this through the sidebar. When connecting to flow on the phone you get to the point where you have to scaqn a QR code. The QR-code is not the same QR code as in the sidebar on desktop. Instead enter opera.com/connect in a new tab on the desktop. There is a QR code which is compatible with your phone setup. After scanning this QR code it should show the same 6 digits as on the phone. Acknowledge on the desktop tab they are the same"

It's horrible. Flow just doesn't work for me. I scan the qr. Code is the same, then I get: "Can't connect, PC turned down the connection."
Not given any solution or anything. And there is nothing you can do. -

@christianfyp I have been using this method for a year now because the qr code and opera flows still don't ask me for the verification code. When are they gonna fix it?

It's very strange but I'm not able to complete the autenthication.. My android smartphone shows the 6 digit confirmation code but in the meantime the desktop jumps to https://auth.opera.com/account/v3/desktop/login/login-success...
This behaviour in both cases: with the QR code from the Flow panel or with the QR of the site opera.com/connect.
And the even strangest thing is that if I use Flow with my iPad everything works perfectly.
Perhaps it is a clue that the bug with Flow is caused when both the desktop PC and the Android smartphone are already connected with the same Opera account.
Any suggestions? -

@terrorfox-tech Hi there,
After reading the QR Code, I'm not able to type the code anywere ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Browser says I've succesfully loged in, but the Android phone says the oposite. Can you help?

Hi all,
I have the same problem as suikoy and iiolavoii.
Some times (means some years) ago I somehow could connect desktop and my phone. It worked for a long time now.
But today somehow the connection was lost.And if I try to reconnect my phone (even if I scan the code from the mentioned homepage instead of the sidebar) after scanning the android smartphone shows the 6 digit confirmation code but the desktop jumps to "https://auth.opera.com/account/v3/desktop/login/login-success".
There is shown "Congratulation, succesfully logged in" and the question "What do you like to do now" with the 2 buttons "Your data is synchroniced" and "Manage subscriptions". That's all.Meanwhile the code on the phone times out and then I can restart the whole procedure...
I would be grateful for help.

It's just so irritating still have this problem after all that comments and all those new version of browser.

@chri-73 Same Issue, I explored both options it gives, "Synchronize your data "and "Manage your subscriptions", neither option seems to give anything related to the code on the android Opera app. Would be nice if the QR scanning worked properly to avoid this whole mess.

@mstfcbngl said in Opera Flow confirmation code not showing on desktop:
I think this method works at least for now.
Yes this is the only method that worked (Opera 80.6.4244.78244 on Android and Opera Stable 108.0.5067.20 on Windows PC). I'll say it step by step:
- Open opera.com/connect on PC
- Scan QR code from Phone
- When PC page says "Connection successful" go to phone and reopen Opera for Android (Click switch apps and slide Opera to close it then open it)
- Flow should work now (If not try checking IF connected to the same Opera account)
IMPORTANT: Developers must either make Connect page on PC to have confirmation code from phone or disable confirmation code on phone when connecting to a PC (as i think it's needed phone to phone)

One thing i noticed other the time, if you have an external VPN connected before starting Opera Stable (Windows), you lose account connection and so Sync and Flow are disabled each time. I didn't loose account connection since i don't connect the VPN before starting Opera anymore.
