      This seems to be an old problem.

      I have no clue of what my passphrase was so I need to reset it. When I go to http://sync.opera.com/web/ it just takes me to a little video page which is no help whatsoever.

      Referring to using an old password is not a viable solution for this issue.

      Thank you.

        @asker77 Go to www.sync.opera.com and click on the reset passphrase link.

        After that, go to sync settings and change the passphrase.

          Thank you, but there is no reset passphrase link on the page.

            @asker77 Are you logged in? Do you have any synced data?

            Anyway, did you try doing the second step?

              Both machines are logged in.

              I've tried everything. I just continually get bounced back to the little video.

                @asker77 Forget about that part, did you try the second one?

                      Yes. I've tried that many times.

                        @asker77 Don't try to login, be sure that you are logged out.

                        Than in Encryption settings, change or disable the passphrase.

                            @asker77 You don't see it in opera://settings/syncSetup? It should be just below Pinboards selector.

                              Never did find it but somehow stumbled on to something but not sure where it was.

                              Anyway, Somehow I am logged in and syncing between the two computers. Now, How do I access sync tabs to the other computer?

                              On one computer I can see both computers. A Tabs page came from somewhere but I'm not sure from where.

                              On the other computer I can't see the tabs from the other computer.

                                Click on the tabs icon in sidebar or go to opera://activity

                                  Thank you! Two more questions...how often does opera sync?

                                  And how to mark this thread as as solved?

                                  Thanks for sticking with me! You've been a big help!

                                  I remember back when Opera first came out. I cheer them on and hope that they get more attention sometime.
