Hi @burnout426 thank you for your reply, I wanted to do some testing when I could and I wasnt wishing to post anything until my issue was fully fixed.

I copy all my profile data for safe keeping just in case. I made a new account and while all my info could simply be exported copying the Opera Stable folder, interestinglly enough the issue did not carry over and I could keep my bookmarks however I lost most of my account autofill info (not a big issue but still).

I tried deleting my Sync folder from my computer and while it seemed the issue was fixed it did not last for very long until it came back again.

Re-install Opera did not help however and for some reason a new full install from zero and wiping all Opera content did the trick. I didnt try your solution in the but I will leave it here in case someone needs it too.

Thank you very much for your help.

First time posting here so I will try to be as clear as possible:

I have everything under Opera Sync and while it works (new information, like passwords or bookmarks are added) old information does not get removed (my old bookmark folders or trashbin dont get removed). My opera behaves well when I use it however when I restart it, all my deleted bookmarks come back and they get reorganised into the same order they used to be (even deleted folders/bookmarks).

In a nutshell, my opera sync seems to be acting more like a back-up tool when I restart it rather than a real life syncronization.

• I have Windows 10 Home 64 bits 16,0 GB Ram
• My Opera is up to date: 96.0.4693.80
• These issues happen mostly to my bookmarks
• I add no screenshots as I dont think they are needed, my bookmarks bar and folders just reset back to "factory" but sync also works as new information is added.
• I have no idea how to reproduce this issue, it happens also in another laptop as well after login out and back.
• Expected behavior: Real time syncronization (or every few minutes at least).

I love opera and I have been using it for years without complains and I will still probably do so anyway but it would be lovely to be able to fix this, thank you very much.

Kind regards.

Yes it does say passwords are sync however its not the "old login/password" but rather the "new" ones I am adding as I loggin into gmail, etc (for example Ivoox I havent logged in once and it does not remember any detail). Once I loging I tell opera to remember OS login/password so it saves them like it used to do however its not my first time re-installing opera and my sync user would actually remember all the details before but it seems after requesting a new password for my opera sync account my previous login/password have actually been lost as they were cipher with the old credentials, it only gave a chance to recover that backup the first time I logged back into my sync account and now it no longer appears. This is why I was wandering if there was a chance to revert my sync account to its previous status 24-48h hours ago.

Thanks for all the help!

Hi @leocg ,

Yeah I did and the option to sync passwords no longer appears (See attachment) the first time I sync it said passwords could not sync as they were cipher with another password (the old one probably) it gave me the option to put the old password but it no longer appears, in fact passwords now seem to be fully sync but they are not as right now the truth is I actually have to login in every website I visit and not even usernames are saved.

Hi there, thank you for the quick response. I saw when I sync for the first time it asked me to login my old password to unlock "old passwords" however I no longer see that option available. Is there any tech service available I could contact to restore my sync account to its previous condition?

Thank you!

Greetings,

I have been using opera for a good while and I love it, the interface, the way to customize it, etc. To my main point now, I have opera-sync and I keep most of my stuff sync. Today I had to re-instal opera as it was crashing after 10-20 seconds all the time after the update. When I was about to sync I could not remember which password I had there (I got a good few secure ones) so I went the easy way and requested a new one so I could sync everything again quick.
However when it came to my passwords they cant be sync as they are encripted with my old OS credentials (username/password) therefore my all my other username/password seem to be gone for things like gmail, etc.

Is there a way to restore previous sync passwords when I have changed my own sync login password?

Thanks in advance!
