After a sync failure message, Google accounts seem to have been reset

Hi, I was playing Minecraft, and Opera GX displayed a "Sync fail" message. When I visited Google's website, it prompted me to accept cookies, as if it were my first time using Opera GX. The same occurred for YouTube and other sites. When I opened Discord in the browser (not the application), the session for my second Discord account was still active, but my Gmail accounts disappeared from the list. After restarting my PC, opening the Discord application (not the browser) automatically disconnected my main account and connected to the account that was active in the browser, which is my second account. This also disconnected me from the Ubisoft Connect application but not from Steam, for example. I initially thought I might have been hacked, but I don't understand why the failed sync in Opera GX could have affected accounts that are on applications. Also, my second Discord account did not experience a disconnection, even though it was on the browser. Thank you for clarifying and letting me know if the failed sync in Opera GX caused all of this. I also tried clearing cookies and disabling sync of Opera GX to see if it would disconnect my Discord account in the application (not the browser), but it's still connected.

@cyberiki Don't remember have seen Opera displaying a "sync fail" message before.

Anyway, a synchronization failure wouldn't have logged you out of pages or cleaned your cookies.
