Its like i just registered. Am I missing something?some setting? cause other browser with accounts remember all that.

Hi! Yes, most likely you missed a key point of Sync. It is a synchronization solution, not a backup, so if you have only one device with enabled Sync and you reinstall it, you'll most likely lose all your data.

If you have multiple devices, then the information are synced to your freshly installed device from your other devices.
