Dear Opera sync user,

We wanted to let you know that in order to protect your Opera sync account we have reset your password. In order to continue to synchronize your data, you will have to go to the Opera sync service and make a new one.

The reason we have done this is because we detected an attack on some of our Opera sync servers. Our investigations are continuing but we believe some of our users’ passwords (that are still encrypted or securely hashed) and account information such as login names may have been compromised. As a precautionary measure, we have reset all of the Opera sync users’ passwords. In an abundance of caution, we also encourage you to change any passwords to third party sites that you have synchronized through the Opera sync service.

To regain access to Opera sync, click “Forgot password” from the synchronize dialog in the Opera browser menu and then create a new password.

We take your data security very seriously and want to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this might have caused you.
