The Sync service is experiencing issues. Our team is looking into this. Please check vivaldistatus.com for live updates. We apologize for the inconvenience.
That you think you can afford to lose that data will only be correct if you truly have no data of significance. If so, you are probably the only person in the world who can say that.
Thanks for the reply.
I get this and even have a password manager. Imagine that if I'm suffering from severe password fatigue, what it's like for more average users.
@Catweazle This is what I am doing right now. But the recent redesigning of Vivaldi should give us the option to have it be default on any of the toolbars like Chrome (recent updates how puts it near profile icon) and Firefox for easily access. If I do a reinstall or fresh install, I have to add the icon again, which I believe can be resolved with options in customizations for toolbar like I get when deciding where to keep bookmark bar, how to see tabs and so on. Not a big deal but a small step for being useful.
@LordLorio Private tabs must lose their data when the browser crashes - the whole point is they don't store data anywhere.
Maybe you could consider setting up a separate profile, that way you can keep your sensitive tabs away from your main tabs, and you could create a second sync account.
@harshavst I fear not. Vivaldi is not connect-able to google account services (at browser level) and I suspect password manager is. But you can export password (if are locally stored) from chrome to vivaldi with export/import features.
@shadowleaf15 You guess correctly. Chromium and thus vivaldi encrypt several data with machine/user ID so is not real portable. No plans to implement that I know. Most profile folders are simply not decryptable if you plan to re-use the profile on another machine/user.
@7eggert Although there's not a feature for that in the browser at present, every time a website offers "remember me on this site." what it's doing is offering to set a durable cookie containing your username - so that whenever you return to the site, you username is pre-filled. That has much the same effect.
@Timucin As your Windows account has no password, then you will not get a such Windows user password popup if wanting to see the password in Vivaldi Settings → Privacy → Saved Passwords.

Hi, to my knowledge web panels cant reach the Vivaldi password manager.
You have to add your credentials manually but only once, I use some web panels with logins, they stay always logged in.
