      I downloaded Opera 2 days ago keeping Firefox in my PC, and I am glad I did. Opera seems to be a faster browser but the lack of solutions for problems like the passwords mentioned in this page seem endless and unresolved.
      I found myself dealing with the same issue with this browser (Opera 36 for Windows 32 bit) and it is very frustrating. Although I have checked the choice "Offer to save the password" this browser does not offer that the first time I open a site that needs ID and password. Since all those type of pages are new for Opera, I was able to test and verify this problem over and over. Out of frustration, I decide to keep Firefox as my browser for password related sites and use Opera for browsing the Internet only. Better speed but not the right browser for me.

        @rumba826 Not related to the topic of this thread, and seems like you didn't really try it. Opera will ask to save the password once you have successfully logged in (that is to say, once the next page has loaded). Opera 36 doesn't have the issue this thread is about - but unfortunately there are no new updates for 32-bit Windows. The only browser I'm aware of that is still producing versions for 32-bit Windows would be Vivaldi, and that's not quite as stable as Opera yet.

            is there a work around?

            Downgrade to O48 or Upgrade to ODev, then, export the passwords.

                On the Opera FTP you'll find all versions.

                      OMenu > About Opera

                      • Install path - go with the Explorer -.
                      • Locate latest version folder.
                      • Rename opera_autoupdate.exe file inside it.

                      To update later, roll back the steps or use the offline installer.

                          Ups!

                          In your case, you have to rename the file inside O48xxxx version, since after the downgrade you'll have the 48 and the newer/broken 49.

                              @ladyzepp You need to un-install Opera, go offline, run the offline installer, rename the auto update executable, go online again, start Opera.

                                    @zalex108 But during installation it automatically updates to the latest. And as first thing when internet connected...

                                      When wrote the comment had came to my head, but didn't added it... 🙄

                                      Despite that... maybe was browsing for a while until rename the file, so Opera had time to check and download the new version.

                                      At the other hand,
                                      don't know if closing Opera during downloading the first Kb/Mb update, whether the file still downloads on the background or it's canceled until the next start up.

                                        @zalex108 I think that if one clears temp folders (Windows) before closing the browser, it can't update as the installation files are gone - for time being -

                                          But if they are not fully downloaded don't know if the file it's:

                                          • Canceled
                                          • Pending to be fully downloaded at the next start up.
                                          • Downloaded on the background despite Opera it's closed.
