Sync broken ?
-
Yesterday I noticed one of my boxes was out of sync, so I went to the Sync tab, and I was logged OUT !! Wth - so I tried logging back in and it wouldn't let me. Now I checked my other box, and it was logged out of THAT also - AND wouldn't let me log in ! 3 years or so ago I had quit using V because Sync was not even in the horizon (heck who in their right mind uses more than one comp. eh) and now I am diving head on into V with sync, I understand sync is a WIP, but for how long ??
These guys even have dedicated sync blogs to show what they are upto, and I am taking it in stride that many settings are still not sync'd, but to break it so bad that one loses their account (with no recovery option) is disturbing.
Is sync again being relegated to being a second-class citizen ?
I have lived with there being no manual export/import of settings but to lose all my hard-earned work after manually sync'ing all boxes is uncalled for.

@gwen-dragon I can understand that, but to not be able to log back in ? I mean I know creating a new account is no biggie, but what is the root cause of this ? I can understand one box being logged out, and being unable to log into one (user error in pwd) but all my boxes ?

@gwen-dragon Maybe I will get out of SS version (initially I understood it as being the only version with sync as I didnt see it in the release version but someone told me it was in release too - so I guess I will switch to that in all boxes)

I don't think it ever made it to the status of being a regular citizen, let alone a first class one.It is an experimental feature, that's why it is disabled by default. Use at your own risk. If it destroys all of your data, don't complain — you were warned. Always keep backups and System Restore points, export your bookmarks to an HTML file, etc., and be prepared to lose settings.

@pesala Agreed, I was alarmed so apologies everyone for sounding peeved, so I downloaded the latest release version, and it still doesnt have Sync but everyone here has been saying it does ? I went to the sync settings couldn't find a way to login

@rojaviv You use your Windows user password to login. If you encrypted your data, then you have to enter that after logging in to decrypt the data.
Specs: AMD A10-6800K, 8 Gb on Win 10 64-bit • Snapshot 1.15.1111.3 (64-bit)

after logging in
I must be going blind - I dont see a way to login with 1.14.1077.55 (Stable channel) (32-bit)

@rojaviv I think you have to enable sync to be able to use it on Vivaldi Stable. I would assume there is a setting for it in vivaldi://flags
(ETA: I don't have a Stable install, so I can't verify if I'm correct.) -

Windows password? Shouldn't that be Vivaldi password?
