Unsolved My Sync Password No Longer works

DJViking

When I came back from vacation Vivaldi Sync was disabled and I had to login again.
I did so, and entered my decryption password and Sync was enabled again.

From my mobile phone, and the other PC I also had to reactivate Sync.
However now they do not accept my password.

My main PC had still Sync activated. I decided to download my Backup Key.
Then logged out, and logged back in, but now my main PC will not accept my password either.

I can decrypt by using the Key. I tried to download this file to my Android Phone, but Vivaldi will not allow me to select any file. The file is there on internal storage, but not selectable.

How can I get back my Encryption Password?
Only way is to delete the sync data from Vivaldi Servers, but will my Data still remain in Vivaldi, and be re-uploaded to Vivaldi Serveres after?

Same problem, tried on multiple machines (including a fresh install, NixOS and Windows) and I'm not sure if I have the key saved, definitely not on my daily-driver machine

I was in the same situation. Had to rename the file from Vivaldi_sync_key to Vivaldi_sync_key.txt, then it worked.

I renamed my file on my phone to Vivaldi_sync_key.txt, but I am still not able to open the file.
All files on my phone are "grey" and unselectable by Vivaldi.

I gave up to workaround.
I deleted my Online Backup, and created a new password.
Luckily I had all data on my computer, so could sync it back up to Vivaldi.
