@leocg what tool? If by tool you mean the password reset link, see the screenshots I uploaded. If this tool is an utility, no one has mentioned it before.

It seems nobody can help with this issue! Can someone from Opera Support take a look?

RE: Have MFA for my Opera account, Linked with Google. Can't reset pwd or emailOpera for computers
@leocg Exactly, it does not make sense!
Let me show you with some screenshots:
If I try login only with my email:
On the password screen, I don't have it, so I click forgot password:
Which takes me to:
after this, email enver arrives (Yes I've checked Spam, Junk, everywhere... emails never gets there:
So I go back to login, this time using Google sign-in:
I get to enter the MFA code (authenticator app) and Voila!:
But, the fun does not end there!:
See the thing about the email "being invalid" ???? If I try to change it or try to reset the password for the Opera account, all I get is this same screen every time, no matter what browser, what OS, etc. (I've tried Edge, Chrome, Mozilla, Opera, Brave, you name it!):
Sorry for the irony. Do you understand now? That's what I've been trying for over a year to get a hold of someone from Opera support so they check my account to see what the heck is going on!!!
I've tried everything!

RE: Have MFA for my Opera account, Linked with Google. Can't reset pwd or emailOpera for computers
@leocg Yes, I tried both. Tried using the Google password, wrong password. I can log in with the Google SSO option.
If you use the reset password option, you must have the old password which I don't. However, I do have the MFA authenticator with the correct key. Why does Opera not rely on the MFA or the Google SSO so that I can reset the Opera account password? I don't receive any password reset email since my account says my email is invalid (it is the same as the Google email I use for login with Google SSO.
Can someone from Opera support check what is going on with my account?

Have MFA for my Opera account, Linked with Google. Can't reset pwd or emailOpera for computers
I have tried for months to reset my Opera account password, even tried to delete my account. I have MFA setup with authenticator app and I login thru Google login. But I can't seem to be able to reset the Opera account password or even delete the account! When I try to reset the password, asks me for the old password (which I don't have), proceeds to ask me the MFA verification (which I have and enter correctly) and can't do anything because I don't have the password!!!
Seems really stupid, that if I can login thru Google SSO, I have the MFA authenticator (and enter the correct verification code, since it's my account) the process still asks for the old password which is the one I don't remember/have and the one I want to reset!!!!
Got so tired of trying I even tried deleting the Opera account, but it also asks the password of the account (also asking the MFA validation, which I complete correctly). So I can't do anything to reset my password or otherwise!!!
If I can login thru Google, I have the MFA verification, why in heavens sake asks me for the password I dont have if I already validated my account by two methods!!!!!
I can't even change the email account since it asks (guess what?) the password of the Opera account!!!
This is insane!

RE: how do i do a password reset for my opera accountOpera account
@burnout426 Can't since in the Opera account it shows "We were unable to send a verification link to you possibly due to address being invalid. Plese provide a valid one."
When I try to change it, requests password (that I do not know). I login with my Google account (which is the same email that Opera Accounts says is invalid address). And I also have two factor authenticator. I can't remove the Google link or update the email or Opera Account password since I have tried all the known ways to change the account password, but they requiere the old password (which I forgotten).
I even sent an email to operasupport a long while ago to delete my account to start again, but never got a response.
