Cannot set up sync data properly

I'm on Opera One(version: 129.0.5823.65) (arm64) and macOS 15.7.5.
For the first time I'm trying to sync my data (bookmarks etc) and it's a really bad direction experience so far.

It should've been able to be set up from Settings->Synchronization->Advanced sync settings but as always this is not working flawlessly.

The customized sync options can be selected but the place to reset the passphrase directs you to here which gives no explanation and does nothing. The page only has a "You have no sync data stored.Sign in to Opera to start syncing, and access your bookmarks and other browser data from all your devices." text and an introduction video. You'd think this is the place to reset the passphrase. Nope.

I somehow was able to find a place to reset it (I hope I did at least) but now I'm getting a warning dot on my user icon (top right) saying "Sync has encountered a problem". And then when I click at that warning nothing happens. I'm just getting directed to account/edit-profile page. No explanation as to what problem the sync has run into, no explanation as to what to do from then on.

What could be causing this and how do I proceed? I'm honestly so fed up.

@aaraa22 After have reset your passphrase in sync.opera.com, you need to go to sync settings and change your passphrase or disable it. Did you do that?
