[Solved]Opera puts my login into WordPress filter fields

Hey guys! Recently, Opera started automatically putting my login name into filter/search fields in WordPress, like in the Media Library:

This is really aggravating, I can't navigate my dashboard unhindered because whenever there's a filter field, it fills it. If I click on the field and delete my login name from it, it often comes back as soon as I click on something else.

I need to open the Inspector and set the fields to display:none using CSS in order to be productive.

Please, anybody, how can I stop this behaviour??!

@mr-matt-eastwood How other Chromium based browsers behave?

Hey leocg! Chrome does the same thing.

@mr-matt-eastwood And what about Firefox and IE?
Also, do you see something like that in other pages?

So far, I've only seen it on WordPress. Firefox does it too, but only in one of the two fields (the one that drops down from the admin bar, cf. my 2nd screenshot in my OP). Not sure about Edge, since I'm on Linux Mint.

What could it be about those fields that makes browsers think those are login prompts?

@mr-matt-eastwood If it happens on all browsers, then it's more probably toi be a Wordpress issue. Maybe they are being identified as login fields.

Just a quick follow-up, I found out that the WordPress plugin, "Shield Security: Protection with Smarter Automation" is causing this behaviour.
