Sync not bringing over saved passwords from desktop
-
I’m assuming that the sync function works as intended, but it’s not for me. I have passwords saved on my desktop that are not showing on the iOS app. Both logged in and synced, but no joy.
Any fixes for this?

I have tried to load my encryption key to access Sync and that didn't work either. Help!
-
We're on the same boat. It hasn't synced my passwords either.

@partsace and @ShriviShine, what if you reset the remote data and sync everything from fresh?
@doctorcdf, use the encryption password instead. If you've forgotten it, reset the remote data and set a new password (and export a new backup encryption key). Alternatively, copy the backup key file directly to your mobile device, i.e. don't use iCloud or similar cloud services.

Ok it's working for me now! Thanks!

@jane-n Hi there - I downloaded the backup encryption key, tried sending it via a variety of ways to my phone. I used the Import link on the iOS browser - nothing has worked. Please advise.

Since I’m having the same problem: if I delete any remote sync data on the servers, doesn’t that remove the password there as well and I’ll lose all of them?Or will my desktop upload them again after the server-wipe?
-
If you reset remote data, then yes all data will be deleted from the servers, including your saved passwords.
Your local data is not touched. So, as long as you currently have all your passwords saved in at least one instance of Vivaldi (e.g. desktop) and you can use and access them there, you can upload all your passwords to the server again from that instance.

Today I reset remote data and logged in again on my iPhone.
I've looked at it more in detail:Passwords are actually synced, they are available while browsing in Vivaldi.
Using Vivaldi as Key-Chain alternative in other apps however does not work: in other apps, I can browse through credentials stored in Vivaldi, but only the username is then entered. Not the password.
I can switch Apps to Vivaldi, go to the passwords and copy-paste the required one from Vivaldi over to the other apps. But the direct approach via the iOS Key chain feature does not work.
-
I have to admit, I didn't know that browsers could behave like password managers.
Our dev checked and could confirm the issue and we've filed a bug for it internally now.
Thanks for reporting.
