Can't delete login autofill

even when I delete "all private data", I can only disable the autofill, but once I enable it I can't delete old logins I don't need. this is incredibly frustrating and I'd be happy to hear any suggestions

"Managed Saved Passwords"... but I'm sure he got the general idea

i did just that but it keeps telling me "You have no saved passwords. Learn more". and I don't, because it doesn't save the actual passwords for some reason. but the login info (email, username, etc) are still there and I can't delete them! nor can I make the browser remember the passwords that go with it, even though it offers me to save them every time i execute a login!

Must be 17 then (Opera Next). There is an option in opera:flags to enable auto fill, where you can then supply your address(es) and Opera will suggest them whenever it encounters an appropriately named form field. But I'd think you'd remember if you had gone through all the trouble to turn it on and fill in all that data ...

Got the same thing. Opera 16.0.1196.80, Win 7 x64. When I switch off the "Enable auto-filling of forms on webpages" flag in "Settings/Privacy & security" the browser stops to autofill all login information at all, but actually it doesn't solve the problem basically. I can't manage to find from where that data could be cleaned, 'cause the "Clear browsing data" button can't deal with that.

I have the same thing as topic starter.

Well. Figured out. Delete "Web Data" file at your_disk\Opera\profile\data\ (I have a standalone installation) and all autofill info is killed. Current version is 18.0.1284.49.

How would I go about doing this on a Mac? I'm really disappointed that clearing autofill information is not included when you delete "Delete Private Data"...

thanks. deleting the web data file helped me out, but I agree that Opera should fix this and enable deleting Autofill data by using "Clear private data..."
On a Mac you can find your profile data path via Opera -> About Opera. in my case it was /Users/username/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera
(current version 19.0.1326.63, Mac OS X 10.9.1)
