How to Sync Opera Bookmarks, Passwords, and Tabs Across Devices

Sign in to the same Opera account on each device, select Sync categories, then use Opera’s Bookmarks manager and Tabs view to access data from other browsers.
Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

To sync Opera across devices, sign in to the same Opera account on each browser and enable the data categories you want in Sync settings. Opera’s documented password-sync support covers desktop Opera and Opera for Android, but not Opera Mini for Android. Find synced bookmarks in the Bookmarks manager and other devices’ open tabs in the Tabs view.

What Opera Sync supports on each platform

Opera’s account FAQ lists different categories for its computer, Android, and Mini browsers. Use the platform-specific list rather than assuming every Opera app syncs the same data.

Opera browser Categories Opera lists for Sync
Opera for computers Bookmarks, tabs, Speed Dial, settings, history, and passwords. Opera account FAQ.
Opera for Android Bookmarks, tabs, Speed Dial, history, and passwords. Opera account FAQ.
Opera Mini for Android Bookmarks, tabs, and Speed Dial. Passwords are not listed. Opera account FAQ.

Opera specifically documents website-password sync between desktop Opera and Opera for Android. If a category is missing on your app, check the account FAQ or help for your installed version rather than assuming it is supported.

How to turn on Sync in Opera

  1. On desktop, open Settings. Find Synchronization and sign in to your Opera account. Opera says a green checkmark on the account button indicates successful sign-in and syncing. See Opera’s Sync features documentation.
  2. Choose what to sync. Open Advanced sync settings and select the categories you want. Menu labels and paths can vary by operating system or browser release; if you do not see the setting, search Settings for “Sync” or use help for your installed version.
  3. Sign in on your other devices. Use the same Opera account on each Opera browser, then enable the relevant categories there as well. Confirm that the categories you want are supported on that particular Opera app.
  4. Check the result. On desktop, look in the Bookmarks manager for bookmarks from other devices, and open the Tabs view to see their available open tabs.

How to view and manage synced bookmarks

Opera merges bookmarks and folders from devices signed in to the same account. In the desktop Bookmarks manager, find the area for other devices to view, edit, or remove those entries. Changes made in the manager sync to your signed-in devices. Opera describes this behavior in its Sync features documentation.

If you only need to move bookmarks once or keep a backup, Opera also supports exporting bookmarks as an HTML file and importing them later. That is a transfer, not ongoing synchronization; see Opera’s bookmark import and export help.

How to view tabs from another device

Open Opera’s Tabs view from the start page or sidebar, choose the device, and select a listed tab to open it. Opera’s connected-device guidance says private desktop tabs do not appear in this view. See Opera’s connected-device tabs help.

How synced passwords are protected and stored

By default, Opera says synced passwords are encrypted using your Opera credentials. The server stores encrypted password information, and your credentials are used to decrypt it after you sign in on another device. Opera also offers a user-set sync passphrase; choosing one encrypts all synchronized data, not just passwords. On computers, decrypted synced passwords are stored in the system Keychain, according to Opera’s Sync features documentation.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Removing a password through Opera’s password manager and account does not necessarily remove its local copy. Opera says local password data must also be managed through the operating system’s password storage. Do not treat removal from Sync as proof that every device copy has been erased.

What signing out or resetting Sync does

Signing out stops that device from syncing, but data already saved in its browser remains local, and data already synced remains on Opera’s servers. Resetting Sync data signs devices out and removes synced data from Opera’s servers; copies already saved on devices remain until manually removed. Opera documents these effects in its Sync features documentation and account FAQ.

If Opera for Android reports an incorrect password

Opera’s troubleshooting instructions say to visit sync.opera.com, sign in, choose Reset Passphrase to reset Sync data, then sign in to the app again. This removes synced server data but, according to Opera, does not erase data on the device. Consider that consequence before resetting; see Opera’s Android sync troubleshooting help.
