@patologia21 Sure thing. The root of it seems to be needing to give Opera "permission to send encrypted data over the network/firewall". Unfortunately I don't know the step by step manual steps on giving applications network permissions, and i was going out of my hair figuring out the root cause. But the prompt that eventually did come up was specifically that quoted wording.

The only way i got it to work is the following, and im listing just to give you the exact steps that triggered the permissions request. I had Opera set as main browser, although everytime it would start going white and crashing i would need to uninstall with all user settings and then reinstall. So do this on a new install of Opera and make sure its set to default browser in your PC's settings.

The next thing i did was open a freshly installed Adobe Creative Cloud and when it asked for my adobe log in, i chose "sign in with Google Account." This is what opened a new session in Opera for the Adobe website and triggered the permissions request, all while linked from the Creative Cloud application.

It may be possible to do this with any linked sign-on prompt from an application while Opera is set as your browser, but the Adobe programs are your best bet imo because they all require a sign in and all accept Google linked accounts as alternative sign-in methods.

@mrgreenbeanz OP here to say this is Solved!

After a fresh install, Opera needed encryption permissions which is was being denied, causing it to crash on importing passwords.

When opening an Adobe program prompt in an Opera window, Opera then prompted to allow encryption permissions and after that ALL info was sync (minus speed dials, but those were at least stored in my profile).

Opera, you're still my go-to, baby.

Having a major headache of a week here.. I discovered Opera last month and put alot of time into customizing my speed dials page, organizing passwords, and bookmarks. It quickly became my go-to browser. Last week, i discovered tamperment of root files on my drive from a malware so i decided to do a clean wipe & reinstall knowing that Opera had my back restoring my browser.

Well as soon as i log into my Opera GX account and turn on all synchronization options, Opera GX immediately crashes and any attempt to reopen is met with a blank white Opera window opening and closing again for a few seconds until it terminates itself.

What is this? Why am i having this issue despite seeing that all of my info is saved on my account. What good is that if synchronization literally bricks the browser? Going out my mind here a bit - would really like to get this squared away as easy as Opera advertised it was.
