A site has a way to tell Opera not to ask you. Maybe that's the case. Not sure without the URL to the site.

In Opera, goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "install" path. Then, close Opera.

In Windows, open up a command prompt and enter:

"C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --ignore-autocomplete-off-autofill

(Replace "C:\Program Files\Opera" with the install path you took note of earlier.)

Then, goto the site in question and log out if you're not already. Then, try logging in to see if Opera asks you.

Thanks for the answer, i tried that but somehow its not working. Is the command correctly?

When i type that in the admin CMD its always wrong.

Try:

"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Opera\launcher.exe" --ignore-autocomplete-off-autofill

or

"%ProgramFiles%\Opera\launcher.exe" --ignore-autocomplete-off-autofill

instead.

Only the first command worked but the problem still remains. Still not asking for password.

@bratan Ok. Try this.

Download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "Opera Test" on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "import data from default browser", and install. Test in that Opera, but do not enable Opera Sync and do not install any extensions.

Does that Opera ask you?

@bratan Temporarily create a new windows user account, log into it, and try in Opera there. If it works there, you might have to change your password for your regular account. You can delete the test user account when you're done.

If that doesn't help, we would need to see the site in question.

In Opera, install https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/user-agent-switcher-5/. Set it to "Chrome for Windows" for the site. Then, click the edit button at the bottom of the extensions dialog and set it to:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/81.0.4044.129 Safari/537.36

That should make the site thing you're using Chrome. Then it might work. But, I'd still test in Chrome and Vivaldi to see that they still work. Did the admin say it worked for him in Opera or just in whatever browser he was using?

If fixed the issue it was some kind of bug within the website. But thanks for all the help man!
