A few tips before posting:
If sync is not working, first log out and log in again.
If that doesn't do the trick then please submit a bug report with the following information:
username of the account you tried to sync,
error message shown (if any),
a screenshot of vivaldi://sync-internals and the Sync settings page on vivaldi://settings/sync/ can help or
click on Dump Status on vivaldi://sync-internals and send us the content that appears in a small box below the button,
time when it happened,
detailed steps to reproduce the issue.
In case you create a topic about your issue, please also share the VB number you receive via email here so we can quickly follow it up.
Hi,
Welcome to Vivaldi's Forums!
As said, you'll need New User Accounts for any new Profile you'd like to Sync.

@1019 Wehen you typed the password in Sync, you ticked the checkbox to save the password in Vivaldi? If not, on every start of Vivaldi it will be asked again.
I mean that let the staff working on it, I'm sure they know the issues and that are trying to fix'em with the servers updates.
At least wait until they finish the pending server updates, and we'll see if the issues are solved or not.
@Bango I prefer OneNote to Evernote, but that seems like an intense task to manage bookmarks in either. It's like one step up from text files.
I understand your desire to use something designed for bookmark management. Hopefully you can take some of my old workflows and work them into yours. It certainly was less than ideal, which would be a native Vivaldi app in iOS.
That'll happen sometime, we just can't say when, I wouldn't expect anything this year. Optimistically I'd say the back half of next year, but I also wouldn't put money on it. Still, I was happiest maintaining my bookmarks in Vivaldi desktop and using the workflows described above in the pre- Vivaldi Android days.
One final tip, I use an extension called "Bookmarks clean up" to deduplicate my bookmarks. It makes removing tens of thousands of duplicates a manageable task, as you can select & delete multiple bookmarks without having to process each one individually, you can just mark an entire set of duplicates in a folder at once, go thorough selecting which folders to delete from, then delete them all, as well as removing dupes in the same folder of course.
Seems that everything is fixed now. Haven't seen this problem in ~10 days now.
It probably was the "[Sync] Failure to renew vivaldi.net credentials can occur after running for a day VB-71146" that fixed our problem.
This is the message. The login can't be screenshot as it's from the OS.
I would expect that I have to type in a password to change the system. i.e. when I change settings, install/update software. Not to start a browser!!!
So if this approach requires access like this then sync was simply implemented in a way that is not what the user wants. I don't use sync to store my passwords anyway. Just my bookmarks. I wouldn't mind if vivaldi requires a proper login protection to the system when it is used to sync passwords. But that's not what I want to use it for.

Since you wiped your data twice I would give the servers some time (up to 6 hours). If you have lots of bookmarks it can take some time.
I've started getting this issue regularly again.
One of my work laptops keeps on getting stuck with "clashes with another client" in the sync upload. When I log out and log in again, there will be old duplicates of notes I cleared months ago.
I recently cleared the data and re-connect all 9 devices... but annoyingly it's started again after only a few days. Having to continually scan my notes and bookmarks for duplicates and then look through all of them to determine which is the current version (dates and titles stay the same) is a real pain in the backside!
@Ayespy and @mib2berlin, thanks. It helps me to develop a strategy . Only have a dual boot Windows and Linux desktop, and a Windows 10 laptop. I dare not think of more, although I am tempted to build a small separate Linux box.
I went through the synchronizing process as Vivaldi Support Team told me.
But the synchronizing process was not done.
In our country, synchronized personal data can be checked by individuals and downloaded...
always~ always~ always~ always~always~
This is because the sync file is linked to a personal Webhard linked to e-mail.
So, Vivaldi is uncomfortable.
Especially, do you understand that I can't see my important information?
If Vi~ have the option to automatically create a backup? Wouldn't that be nice?
Really... I was stupid. The illusion that it would be good to sync.
I can only sigh now because of my lost data.
Now Vivaldi is only going to do simple web surfing.
I felt comfortable with Vivaldi until he had a problem.
@ineuw said in Clicking on Sync encryption field closes Vivaldi :
#fill-on-account-select
I can only speak for 3.2.1558.x internal version, but i use this flag always as on and never got such crash.
@scrutinizer We were just helping a new user to the thread with their issue.
You should try contacting support. I have seen some people have success with fixing their sync issues that way.
