Unable to export encryption key
-
I have the following version of Vivaldi: 6.7.3329.35 (Stable channel) (64-bit) on both Windows and Mac.
I am trying to export the encryption key, but for some reason, when I save the file, nothing happens. No file is created. This occurs on both Mac and Windows.
I have a new phone on which I need to set up Vivaldi, and without the encryption key, I fear losing my history, bookmarks, and passwords. Currently, it's also impossible to export the encryption key on the Android version due to storage permission issues. Even when you explicitly grant the permission via ADB Shell, you get an error saying "Saving backup failed." So basically you can't export your key on any platform!!
The same issue is discussed here: Vivaldi Forum - Unable to Save Backup Encryption Key.
At this point, I am so frustrated that I am seriously considering switching to another browser.

@DoctorG Wouldn't "Reset Sync Data on Server" reset all my data on the remote server?

@spaniard89 Yes. Thats why i tell users to do that on the device with all complete profile data. Then this complete data will be uploaded.
But i do no guarantee anything. That was only a idea is was told some weeks before.If you have fear on dataloss with my tip, do not use it, and report issue with save sync backup key to Vivaldi bug tracker.
