@leocg Thanks for the input. However, as I indicated in my last post, when I used that link, I am not directed to page where I can reset the password.

New information.. on Mac Opera, the reset process worked fine. Therefore, there must be a bug with the Windoze Opera version.

Lots of clunky issues with account management , sync, and forum workflow.

The Reset Link sends me to a page which has a youtube video, and provides no other means of resetting or re-enabling the sync.

I can login to my Opera Account. It took about 10 minutes to enable access to this forum. The dialog require a new username for the fourms, and would not accept my own account username, or any number other complicated usernames I threw at it. I wonder how many other people needing access to this forum simply gave up. Using brute force, I finally got this username accepted by the system to enable access to the forum.

I enabled Opera encrypted sync on mac, windows and android. THat has worked for a while. Today, I noticed the Mac no longer is Syncing with Opera. (I rarely use the Mac, since Apple prevents me upgrading it to a modern release of OSX, I am stuck on High Sierra, and dont have the time to figure out how to force my way into an upgrade. It's possible, but it could also ruin that laptop. I dont want a new one since ALL the new ones have crappy M1 chips, no DVD player, and limited ability to expand storage. My 12 year old MBP is still the Workhorse.)

On a newer and much slower HP Windoze Laptop, I accessed Opera, which until today was syncing. Now it's not.

I have a password scheme to prevent/limit my password dementia. My password for Sync no longer works.. and I cant reset it.
