      Can anyone help with this? It's pretty catastrophic for me. I don't want to use Opera to collect a hundred password again if they'll just get lost at some point. 😞

            @adamr7747 And your passwords are no longer on the server?

              @leocg Hmm. They're not showing in Opera settings. Is there some other way to check the server?

                @adamr7747 The only way is by going to https://www.sync.opera.com/

                    @adamr7747 Then your passwords weren't synced or they were removed from Sync servers.

                      How would that happen? I have Opera on my android phone as well and have had the passwords syncing for years. Unless I can work that out I don't know how to stop it again. I'm assuming there's no hope of getting them back 😕 Looks like I might have to switch to Chrome after all these years with Opera 😞

                        @adamr7747 Check if you are using the correct Opera account. Also recheck if passwords synchronization is enabled and working.

                          @leocg Ah! My phone is showing 544 saved passwords. Yay! Bizaarely it's showing me as "Guest" though. The way I use a browser means almost every password is initially entered on my laptop. So somehow the passwords synced over to my phone from the laptop, then got deleted on my laptop & the passwords on my phone got associated with a guest account.

                          What happens if I log in again on my phone? Will the 544 get deleted because they don't exist in my proper account?

                            @adamr7747 If the passwords are stored locally, if you login to Sync they will be synced to your Opera account.

                              @leocg Thanks for your help. My passwords are re-synced. I'm not sure how they got lost from my laptop, but if they're in 2 places now I feel safe enough to carry on with Opera!
