I think that syncing passwords only works when a master password is set on all connected devices for security reasons.

Did you set a master password?

No, no master password. The "password" is good checked in the sync options

Thanks! It's this option (new obligation apparently) that I not use (for personnal bad experience in old version of Sync).
