Passphrase -cannot Sync

I love and have used the Opera browser for years, on one computer. Never used Sync. I now have a second Windows PC and so downloaded Opera.

I went to sync my bookmarks and speed dial tabs, after logging in via my Google account, and I am asked for a passphrase, which I have never set up!

I tried the 'reset passphrase' link but am told I have no synced data and all I get is a dumb video on how to download opera and start syncing.

How the heck do I reset or create a passphrase, so I can Sync?

@adr58 Did you change your Opera account password? It may be asking for the old one.

@leocg as stated, I logged in via my Google account.. This is my first ever Opera account sign-in.

It's now a moot issue. While I never entered a passphrase, my bookmarks appeared in both PC's Opera browser. I see this is a repeated issue for users and Opera needs to fix a clearly screwed up system.

Also, there needs to be a way to add the speed dial icons to the second PC. Having them in the bookmarks just makes access an unnecessarily multi-step task.

Also. Opera is the only browser that results in 100% CPU when opening!

Some web forms don't work in Opera and I have to use Edge or Chrome!

After several years of usage, I'm considering dumping it.
