Can't sync phone to PC

In the past I've been able to sync my android phone to the PC, so that the bookmarks on the phone match those on the PC. Now it just doesn't work. On the PC I click MyFlow and Reveal the QR code, scan it with the phone, which then brings up a confirmation number and says "follow the instruction on the PC". But there are no instructions on the PC, instead it goes to my Opera account main page (or to log in if not already).
Over multiple attempts I did once manage to get it synced, but perversely the PC synced to the phone, not the other way around. This deleted all my recent PC bookmarks and I had to do a full image restore of the PC to get them back.
Grateful for any help to get around this maddening problem. This is a brilliant feature if only I could get it to work, as it has in the past.
Thanks!

Sync'ing works fine for me over multiple installations on Desktops (Stable/Beta/Dev, Linux/Win) and Mobile, though I don't use Flow feature and directly use OMenu > Log in to Opera Account.

If you have existing bookmarks it's good to export it and keep as backup.

Thanks, nimeshthakkar, but I'm afraid the fact that it works for you doesn't help me. The Windows and Android versions of Opera appear unable to talk to each other, or only at cross-purposes. Logging into the account isn't the issue, but why does the PC keep taking me to that (regardless of whether or not I'm already logged in) instead to displaying the six-digit confirmation code? It makes no sense.
