@lykinos That does not work! I once again had to go around my elbow to get to another body part to get it to connect. I've been using Opera for more years than I can count, ok over 15 and this Flow disconnecting so difficult to reconnect has got to be addressed. At first it was the Pinboards that disappeared and all your material was lost, which now seems to be fixed or the fact that I secured it in my safe sites/cookies. IDK all I know is one moment I was going to flow everything was there, going down my Flow list one by one, getting to the last couple, and poof it's once again disconnected. I hope they find a fix, very frustrating.

@wosgaldino I have the exact same issue. I'm signed in on both phone and pc yet, it says disconnected. Then have to go through h*** to get reconnected. It has happened several times in the last 2 weeks.

RE: Passkey does not work on Opera and Opera GXOpera GX
@znaczki65 several of the security keys list what browsers they work with. It's only the 3 lamest ones... Edge Firefox and Google. Yubi has their own catalog that you can see what sites you can bind your key to. I wish Opera was able but as of yet, no they're not

RE: Passkey does not work on Opera and Opera GXOpera GX
@leocg I have the same problem. You can't bind a pass/security key using Opera or Vivaldi either. I went to the manufacturer website and it was stated just works with Edge, Google Chrome and Firefox. The three browsers that I can't stand.

RE: Pinboards disappearingOpera for Windows
Hello. I Finally figured out how to preserve my pinboards. I hope it works for you. Others have posted solutions that have worked for them, and didn't work for me. However, this is what did work for me, so give it a go, it's very easy. Save your Opera Pinboard cookies. If you go into your settings, under security and privacy, you will find your cookies, you can pick and choose which ones to allow. They remain safe when running your cleaner if you allow them. I use software that runs a tune up, and I can go in there and pick and decide which to keep. OR you can in security/privacy cookies allow all and turn on don't allow third party. Allowing the cookies that you use Opera, Facebook, Amazon etc will also help keep you signed in. So whether you are using a software to run an internet cleaner or within the browser itself, put your known cookies that you know are safe in the keep basket, and toss the others. The third party cookies they are the way you're tracked. I tested this try with clearing my data within the browser, then I did the same using my software, and all 3 times, my pinboards remained, I remained signed into Opera and I'm a happy camper. I was pretty angry with Opera for my work disappearing. I'm still backing things up because I don't know if it's truly fool proof. But for now, saving those cookies and putting them on the keep/safe list is what worked 100% for

RE: Pinboards disappearingOpera for Windows
@michallica39 Glad that worked out for you. Not so much for me. I did as you said, step by step, and just like my Opera Pinboards, there's zilch in the data you stated. My Pinboards are gone... Again!! Opera should seriously Not advertise something that is in Beta without making you fully aware. Yes, btw, my data is synced. This is the 3rd time losing the Pinboards, dodging everything of not clearing this, not clearing that.. etc. So, after losing that much data and things for my students that Opera totes you can collaborate with Pinboards..lol no you can't ... I just gave up and use something far far more stable. Just to veryify, all my bookmarks, tabs, passwords, preferences, history, shared devices , speed dials are all there.. Oh and 1 pinboard, the blank one you start with.

RE: Pinboards disappearingOpera for Windows
I posted about this a year ago, and here I am again. Pinboards! Why on earth offer them? Once again, my materail is gone. I guess you just don't clear your browsing history/cache and keep your machine tuned all the while being able to keep your pinboards. I'm disgusted with Opera! No Where on the download page where it says oh.. look... pinboards... does it say, you may lose your material if you run a cleaner. The numerous people that have lost their material because of this is nuts that Opera would let it go on.. Oh wait, it's in Beta , so that excuses their lack of transparency. So I went and read the reviews, I'm not the only one complaining. Opera emails me playing stupid, oh can you send us a screenshot, when is this happening? Use your own browser and find out. Go ask all the countless other people having the same issues.
The only thing safe is flow for retaining material and as I said early on, extensions notion, webclipper

Hidden PinboardsOpera for Windows
On the issue of pinboards disappearing, and a few people saying they are in your favorites, then people like me saying no, they are not. Well, we are Both right!! In trying to organize my favorites, I installed a manager. The fav. manager pulled up my favs and I was shocked to see pinboards there. However, when I went to my favorites, the pinboards were not there. Since the manager was not functioning, I exported the bookmarks. I open the file, poof, there are pinboards. The problem here is they are showing in the manager (that doesn't work) And if you export your favorites and open the file you will see pinboards. Now to the person who stated they are hidden in your favorites, I apologize. If that's a backup, why on earth would it be hidden?! The screens are of the (useless) extension, and the other from the exported downloaded file. How do you restore a pinboard from a hidden place? operfav1.png

RE: Pinboards disappearingOpera for Windows
@zuldaris That's how it goes. I mean the pinboards were great, until you clear your cache. They tried to blame it on installed programs.. lol.. no I used Opera's clean up itself. Many others have lost them and asked the same if backing up. Again, I chose a much more reliable extension that works just as well. Opera should WARN people that this pinboard crap is still in "beta" testing..But, they don't. They just suck you in and then you find out the hard way.

RE: Pinboards disappearingOpera for Windows
@leocg Saving to your favorites does not save or back up your pinboards. Adding them to favorites/sync/backup yields absolutely nothing because they still vanish. Again, they are useless and very unreliable.

RE: Pinboards disappearingOpera for Windows
@elboxd You can not back up your pinboards. Favorites yes, pinboards no. Use an extension. Again, Notebook by Zoho is an extension as well as an app you can download. Notion is the same, and Pocket is just an extension. I prefer the first 2 as I can just use the application. You can also design your notebook covers.

RE: Pinboards disappearingOpera for Windows
@qo-d Pocket is busy, and Notion is not only an extension, you can download the application to your desktop/laptop as well. The extension Notebook by Zoho does the same as Notion and you can design your notebook covers as well. My child has been using them for a year for school, at least they are dependable where Pinboards vanish. Enjoy!

RE: Pinboards disappearingOpera for Windows
@leocg Hi. Backing up bookmarks has nothing to do with the complaint about the pinboards disappearing. The browser totes about all their features. They all should work and be dependable. Especially when they're talking about sharing and collaborating using the boards. I've been complaining about this issue for months. I'm also not alone as the very same thing has happened to others. They take the time to create, and then it's just gone. I'm not going through the hassle of backing up, when there are plenty of extensions available to organize what the Opera browser can't fix. If I'm not mistaken I've gone back and forth with you previously on this very same issue... pinboards disappear.

RE: Pinboards disappearingOpera for Windows
@pinpointedu It's a disappointing thing to say it politely that the pinboards are a "selling" feature promoted by Opera, only not to work. I have begun using a browser extension called Notion and Pocket. There's also Notebook. Those are pretty solid backups to Pinboards. I think Opera should be responsible enough to FIX the Pinboards. I lost all my students boards.

RE: Pinboards disappearingOpera for Windows
@leocg I truly wish you would make up your mind. I gave a web addy my original post. You clapped back that it clearly states, then you changed your mind when I again asked you to show me where it stated that. You then gave a different answer, then another. Now here you are with yet again another answer. Either way, you are referring to Pinboards advertised by Opera. I saw the one you just referred to right after my boards disappeared. Then Opera released an update. That update again shows the Pinboards as their Tada. It was that release that I referred to. So now you are saying they're different things. Again, if they are the same, which I believe they are, the update did Not show that Pinboards were under development. You can't have it both ways. They either are or they are not. Yes, what you referred to does state not stable, but there has been an update since that page was created.

RE: Virtual School Classes don't work on OperaOpera for Windows
@blackbird71 Thank you and I will collect all the information needed. After doing so, do I make a new post or return here? I must contact my students that have been using Opera and get their input as well.

RE: Pinboards disappearingOpera for Windows
@leocg I will not be argumentative, but your reply was relatively weak. In the beginning you said, "it clearly states". To end with it's advertising main/new features. Again, if a browser is going to put something out there they can't back up, why should we believe it? It's wrong to suck people in with promises, and then hide it's in developmental stages. As a consumer, even that of browsers, it's called disclosure. I, along with others, lost a great deal of things on my pinboards, only to be told by Opera, it was in the "developmental stages". I love the idea of the Pinboards; I just want to be assured they will work and for my browser to be transparent to everyone that something they are claiming isn't fully stable at this time. Good Day!

RE: Pinboards disappearingOpera for Windows
@leocg Opera Fails to tell you to go to a Pinboard page on the link I sent you. That is their new "updated" page, telling and asking people to try Opera..Did you watch the video? Did it tell you to go elsewhere? Hmm.. interesting, they left that part out.
