@simone-brunacci You need to reset your passphrase and stop using it.

@leocg how can I set the elimination of the passphrase using an Android device after that I've changed it?

@simone-brunacci First, go to sync.opera.com and click on Reset Passphrase. Note that it will remove all your synced data from the server.
After that, go to settings > Personal Data > Synchronization> Encryption and choose the first option.

@leocg wait I don't want to loose my synced data...this operation deletes only the data's encrypted with the passphrase or all the synced data's?

@simone-brunacci It removes all your synced data, since it should be completely encrypted by the passphrase.

@leocg I don't have understood you I'm sorry..are you saying that it removes all my synced data's ?In that case that happens also if I simply change the passphrase? And again,why only some of the synced data's are encrypted by the passphrase?Thank you

@simone-brunacci For you to do anything with the passphrase (change, remove, etc), you need to delete all your synced data.

@simone-brunacci By default, only synced saved passwords are encrypted. When you use a passphrase, all your synced data is encrypted.

@leocg ok in this case, how could I save my files (like for example favorites ) before try to change that passphrase to try to unblock the encryption of these files that are not visible at now ? I don't want to lost my favorites list...plus if the passphrase is enabled at now,why when I look into my synced datas in my profile page only some of these are encrypted an not all of them? And why after that I've done the log in procedure,Opera doesn't ask me the passphrase to look into my synced settings?

@simone-brunacci What you have in your devices should be kept and will start being synced again.
There is no way to save the data stored on servers.

@simone-brunacci You would need to find a way to backup your profile directory on Android.
For passwords you would need to export them.if you are using a passphrase, everything in sync.opera.com should appear as encrypted.

@simone-brunacci The encryption is made locally, before the synced data is sent to the server.

@leocg not all the data are encrypted,only a few (like two passwords it seems to me ) and the other datas are available,how could I do eventually what you're counseling me?

@simone-brunacci Synced passwords are always encrypted.
If only synced saved passwords are showing as encrypted, then you are not using a passphrase.

@simone-brunacci said in Question about my account's data synchronized:
When I log into my Opera account and I take a look into my sync data's from my Android device I see that there are some of them that I can't see because they're encrypted, how can I change that?
It is because I've enabled a passfrase ( it is possible that I've done that in my PC )?
So I can see these encrypted datas only from my PC?If you notice encrypted data in your Opera account's sync from your Android device, it's likely due to a passphrase you enabled, possibly on your PC.
To view encrypted data on other devices, ensure they have the passphrase enabled for decryption.

@leocg From what I'm seeing from this device there are **2 passwords and 58 preferences encrypted,**I think that to see them I've to insert the passphrase that I think to have used for the encryption on my PC (I don't remember to have used a passphrase but is possible)could you confirm that?
. **Could you provide me an explanation of preferences?**What they are ?
. what could happens if I don't remember the right passphrase used and I insert or change it with another one ? From what you've said I think that my data's could be deleted if I do that but all my days or only the encrypted ones? -

@simone-brunacci Passwords and Preferences will always be encrypted in sync.opera.com, there is no way to access them in that page.

@simone-brunacci Preferences is where your synced Opera settings are stored.
