Over the last several days, vivaldi quit syncing. The encryption password I used appears to be invalid, needless to say it appears I am SOL. never had issues with vivaldi until now? WTF??????

Im not sure about time but about month ago Vivaldi had major difficulties with Linux, fresh install and sync didnt work at all. I didnt use Windows version at the moment, but shortly i found that its same in Windows and same with Android.
After some updates it worked again, BUT all website passwords, browsing history, addons settings etc. etc. were LOST. Some worthless info survived this pathetic so called sync, but theres no use for it.
I lost many years of, well, everything in 3 OS - Linux / Windows / Android, and offcourse theres no backup, thanx to fkin me, myself - idiot.
So what to do? Headshot? Who? Cry? Go outside to look birds, trees, animals? Change browser?
I JUST HATE U ALL.

Just got a new laptop. Tried to set up my Vivaldi mail account, and Vivaldi won't accept my password.
Found this note about adding a new encryption password. I need clarification on this statement. Do you mean "change" the encryption password? I wasn't aware that you could have multiple passwords.
Please clarify. Thanks.

Hi, this is for the mail password, this popup should rarely appear.
Do you have two accounts, Kevin and trendfirst?
The sync account is the same as your forum account, this is also a mail account but you can have more than one Vivaldi accounts. -

Perhaps that is the problem, I do have two accounts as I prefer my email to be private (which is why I deleted the image). I will try the other account.Tried the other account password, authentication failed for that as well. And I have never used the trendfirst account for syncing, only the other account.

Still looking for an answer to this. Do we "Add" or "Replace" with a new password?

@trendfirst
Do you have a running system with all data local, bookmarks, passwords?
Due to a database error of the sync servers, the Vivaldi team had to delete all sync data 3 weeks ago.
If no other device is running sync the server is empty, you could use your old or a new encryption password.
This has nothing to do with the account password, you are logged in in the forum so the combination trendfirst/password work. -
Problem solved. I was using an email password rather than a Sync Decrypt password.
I would have caught this much earlier if Vivaldi provided a "Show Password" option for all the spots for passwords. Right now, some have this, some don't.
