Opera sync not working

on your latest reply: no, only the password was asked for, not the passphrase (which was never set up).
on your former remark: sorry, I did understand it wrong; now I did what you asked, removing the content of the Sync Data folder. I will update what happens next (until now nothing important: only the three items I mentioned before (device info, user consents and security events) are running) -

Now, 6 hours after having deleted content of Sync Data folder the system does not run synchronisation, except for the three former items that are running on synchronisation, the other ones (passwords, bookmarks, etc) keep on stating 0, and not running...
I suppose I will have to put the content of the folder back in order to get it working again? -

I've tried it again (erasing content and logging in afterwards), and now everything is running on the panel of opera://sync-internals, but with the same result as before: only 24 passwords are stated to be synchronised, whilst on the website https://www.sync.opera.com is still stated, correctly, that there are 260 to be synchronised... -

Well, for a part of it that can be true: 260 passwords looks indeed rather a lot; but anyhow, the same password for opera-account is used since more than 2 years, I guess, so there were more than 24 passwords anyhow...
In a last list of passwords I have been able to dig up (printed list from my opera-account, as far as I can see), of about 3 years ago, there were already 66... So perhaps you`re right, that in those 260 records there are passwords doubled, or even tripled?. However, if there were three years ago already 66, I reckon there were certainly more than 80 passwords now memorised, which apparently your system cannot recover, nor access? -

Now, one week later the situation stays the same: the passwords that were there, or that I added, are updated, but the old ones are not recovered, so I suppose they are lost..
I hope you understand this does not inspire big confidence in your system: it is clear that, as your own system says, the passwords are there, but I cannot have access to it, so for me it is as if they are lost... Should I think of leaving Opera, as a not really reliable system? -

Yes, I know, as I know also that you are not the cause of not being able to solve it; as I surely do appreciate your assistance in trying to do it.
Anyhow, it's a pity that there is no-one of Opera itself who can take up this item: it is clear that there is something wrong in the system between what is saved and what can be accessed through synchronisation, and that is or a bug or a malfunction that the IT services should have a look at.
