        @mxmatt38, A similar problem: After scanning the QR code from my phone, the browser on my laptop sends me to a page where it just loads foreverScreenshot_1.png

            @dimarch I have a problem close to this, but my computer won't even show me a QR code at all.

              @rubtrianglerub Try to open My Flow from the sidebar, then if there is no show qr button, click on the settings icon at the top, then delete My Flow, this will not delete My Flow from the sidebar, you will just do a reset, after that the show qr button will appear in My Flow

                  I have the same issue as DiMarch. I can connect my phone and tablet with 'my flow' but not my computer. I get the same screen. Has anyone found a solution?

                    @dimarch Delete my flow starts the process all over again. The QR code shows up for me every time but "Follow the instructions on your other device" leads to a spinning circle just the same as your last post.

                      Exactly. If I get past the spinning circle, a message says I have to login (although I'm already logged in). After I re-login the white box displays 2 choices. (1) Sync files or (2) Manage subscriptions. Neither choice relates to Flow. Neither choice gives access to Flow.
                      So the phone shows a 6-digit number & says to follow directions shown on the computer. The computer shows no directions related to Flow

                        Flow is totally broken. Even if it works once, then it will log out your from Opera account so your sync will turn off and you have to log in every time after using Flow.
                        Unfortunally, Opera team just ignores this problem.

                          I have had this exact problem for about a year now and I am unable to get my flow working.
                          I had to start using whatsapp for sharing links etc 😕

                            I'm having the same problems as everyone else. I try to connect my phone to my PC and I either get the spinning circle or Sync files / Manage subscriptions options. I have tried resetting the My Flow but it's still the same. No option to use the 6-digit code.

                            It seems strange that such a fundamental feature of Opera is not being quickly fixed. I also have a problem with editing Workspaces that doesn't have a solution. I have just moved over to Opera because of these features, but if it isn't being supported, maybe I should move back to Firefox.

                              I have found a temporary work around. When I get to the spinning circle I click on the flow icon and flow opens correctly. My phone asks me to verify that it is me, fingerprint works. I then add stuff to the flow on my computer. When it shows up on the phone I download it and at that point the flow on the computer stops working and I am back to the 'connect your phone' page. None of this should be necessary, and I am also having issues with changing the third party cookies option. Maybe as erehwon2 says, it's time to go back to firefox.

                                Hi to all, I have same situation, and I beleive at least 99 % of users who try and want to use flow reature. Why developing front and back end team does not get task to fix this - I have no idea? But this is really bad as it not working properly two years already at least!!

                                ARIA which is speaking is really great feautre, but by my experience, it have problems as well. It was working one session and it stipped as well to cooperate.

                                  I think there have been a couple of updates to Opera now. I am on version 109.0.5097.38 but I still can't get My Flow to work. I can sometimes get it to say they are connected on the desktop (maybe as @ppclarke has said) but if I dismiss the Confirmation Code screen on my phone, the connection drops. (I have never got anywhere on my desktop that asks for a confirmation code)

                                    I have the same problem with version 109.0.5097.38. Registering the phone by scanning the QR code on the Windows Opera doesn't work either. After clicking "reveal QR code" or "connect phone" and scanning the QR code with Android Opera Mobile 81.3.4292.78688, the phone displays a confirmation code (same code every time), tells me to "Follow the instructions on your other device" (Windows), but there are no instructions shown. Although I was logged in, I'm getting the spinning wheel, and it turned out that I had been logged out without notice. I logged in again (2-factor with Google Authenticator) and every time I'm getting an Email saying that it's a "new" log in, although it is from the same machine with the same IP number. Also, my synchronization turns off without notification although I had checked "sync everything" in the settings. Settings don't seem to be saved. I was logged out on my phone too, and I can't log in because "An error occurred", not very informative...

                                      @denjohan That's a very full description of the problem. I get all the same problems as you, with the only difference being my conformation code changes each time.

                                      I did think it might be a problem with 2FA but I turned mine off and it didn't help.

                                      I'm sure we can't be on the only ones having such a fundamental problem with a core feature of Opera.

                                        I just closed and reopened my sidebar, and all of a sudden, it's working again!

                                          @rubtrianglerub What part is working? Can you send a URL from your device to your desktop browser?
                                          I still get the same issue - I try to send a URL from my device via My Flow (Send to Flow). It then asks me to Connect device. This takes me to the QR Scanner, so I set this my on my desktop using the My Flow sidebar link.
                                          When these connect, my phone asks for my fingerprint and then gives me a six digit code, which I have never been able to use. At the same time, my desktop takes me to my logged in page where I can Synchronize your data or Manage your subscriptions, neither relevant here.
                                          Very frustrating as I can't even work out what it is meant to be doing.
                                          I'm no longer using Opera as my main browser as I don't think it is built for full time use.
