      Hi I'm experiencing problems with my Opera Flow, when I try to access Opera Flow on my desktop browser, I'm constanly booted back out to the prompt to "Reveal my QR code" and to "Connect my phone".

      However whenever I scan the QR or enter the connection code manually on my phone, I get the notified on my phone that "Opera on compueter is already connected".

      It is worth noting that my computer and phone are definitely connected, as when I click "Send to my flow" on my address bar, the link I am browsing does show up on my phone's flow. I just cannot see my flow from my browser since I keep getting kicked back to the "Reveal my QR code" screen.

      The only way to temporarily remedy this is to disconnect all devices and restart the connection, however I then get disconnected everytime I restart the browser. Which kind of defeats the purpose of flow as it would then be faster to share to my phone via WhatsApp or Email.

      I'm unsure if the following is relevant, but for some context, this issue has only started since I changed my user accound name in my microsoft account/file explorer. I am unsure if these occurences are related as I had uninstalled and reinstalled Opera GX during this process.

      Thanks in advance for any advice on how to fix this.

        @cadavalier I am experiencing the same issue. It started with the last update. Looks like it broke the "flow system"

            Probably a little late, but I had the same problem and fix it by:

            1- Open OperaGX in your phone
            2- Go to my Flow
            3- Click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner and go to settings
            4- Search for manage devices under My Flow Tab
            5- Hit disconnect all devices

            If this doesn't work try to do the same with the pc Client.

              Thanks for the reply, I think I also stumbled onto the same fix a while back, still doesn't hurt to have a troubleshoot guide for future users. Cheers!
