Sync passphrase chrome

August 1, 2012 - 6:10am #1 Offline Last seen: 7 years 8 months ago Joined: 2009-06-06 05:49 [Closed] Google Chrome Portable sync still doesn't work This has never worked correctly, though a couple of versions ago the symptoms changed slightly - presumably as a result of the way Google does sync.If you have Google Chrome set up to sync with your online account, all works as expected until you move to a different machine. Then, when you open Google Chrome you see an orange exclamation mark in a square to the right of the spanner (wrench) symbol.Pulling down that menu you see an error message saying "Sync Error: Update Sync passphrase...". If you click on that the settings tab appears with an "Advanced sync settings" box inviting you to update your passphrase.If you do that and click on OK, the setting is accepted but a pink stripe then appears on the Settings page under Sign in saying "Account sign-in details are out of date. Sign in again". Clicking on this pops up a box inviting you to re-enter your password. If you do so and click on OK, the settings are accepted.All is then OK until you change machines again, when you have to go through the whole process afresh.Is there any way round this?RegardsNick

By your passphrase is deleted from Google's servers and you're signed out from all of your devices where you're signed in. Your payment methods from Google Pay and your addresses aren't encrypted by a passphrase, so they won't be deleted.

At the bottom, tap Delete data Delete. Tip: You can resume saving data in your Google Account, but you'll no longer have a passphrase. Step 2: Make a new passphrase (optional) At the top, tap the name of your account. At the bottom, tap Encryption. Choose Use your own passphrase to encrypt all the Chrome data in your Google Account. Enter and confirm a passphrase. Tap Save. If you export your passwords before you remove the passphrase, you can import them again. Learn how to import passwords.

Like I never got asked to put a passphrase so I don't even know And i don't want to lose all my data (that already got deleted by recovery so i can't just re-sync afterward) leocg Moderator Volunteer @Ventus-exe last edited by @ventus-exe Passphrase is an extra password that you set up to encrypt your synced data.There is no way to change or remove it without removing synced data from the servers.When a passphrase is not used, only saved passwords are encrypted, using your Opera account credentials.So, if you change your Opera account password, you will need to inform the old one to decrypt the data with your old saved passwords.And that is the password (or passphrase) that Sync usually asks. twizy @Ventus-exe last edited by @ventus-exe l keep getting asked for a passphrase. I don't remember ever having created one. It won't let me sync without entering it. leocg Moderator Volunteer @twizy last edited by @twizy Check above, Sync/Opera is probably asking for an old Opera account password. twizy @leocg last edited by @leocg Oh, l see. Thanks very much for your reply. I did have another Opera account ages ago. I don't think that l know the password for it.  twizy @twizy last edited by @twizy Don't know where the symbols in my reply came from. I must have clicked on something by mistake. kanikavatsyayan last edited by The passphrase is the password used for sync, not the one you use to sign in to Opera. Though I am not a hardcore Opera user, I believe opera would allow any user that remembers their password to get the passphrase. Here’s something that I found on the web.In your computer's Opera browser:Go to Settings.Click Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Privacy & security.Under Autofill, click Passwords.I hope it helps! Ventus-exe @kanikavatsyayan last edited by @kanikavatsyayan The probleme is that, I need that Passphrase to recover my passwords, My browser got reset so losing all my passwords was a big problem since it was my only way of knowing some of them but thanks for trying to help leocg Moderator Volunteer @kanikavatsyayan last edited by @kanikavatsyayan Passphrase is an additional password that you can add in order to protect your synced data.You login to Sync using your Opera account password, the sane used to login in these forums.As far as I know, passphrase is stored locally, so there is no way for Opera to recover it.
