@eric0225 don't know if this is what you're looking for but is this what you're trying to get?

I recently installed Windows 11. In preparation for doing so, I synced everything just in case. everything went smoothly but when I tried signing in to my usual stuff it didn't auto-fill. I checked my passwords and there's nothing saved but my synchronized content says otherwise . Here are some pictures for understanding

as you can see the said "43 passwords" are not there
(I signed in to two sites already that's why there are two passwords Lol)

any help would be appreciated please and thank you

@leocg i dont think so. in the past when I have switched from various computers I would just re log in and everything would sync up, but since I couldn't remember the password this time and didn't have it saved anywhere because I reinstalled windows

@leocg dang

I recently reinstalled windows because I was having some problems with my pc. I ended up redownloading a bunch of apps including opera gx and since I didn't remember my password I ended up resetting it. when I went to resync all my passwords, bookmarks, formats, etc. it said to enter old password. I don't know my old password hence why I reset it.

so my question is, have I lost everything?

I feel like I already know the answer, that I have indeed lost everything and I'm infuriated. to lose everything because of encryption safety measures. ironic

Can anyone help me?
