@denniswilson-0 Passwords for sure will not work, you can only transfer them by using Sync or by exporting them.

Speed Dials probably are in other speed dials.

@denniswilson-0 Regarding the extensions, you should be able to reinstall them from their directories on the backup.

Thanks. I hadn't realized that I'd need to export the passes. I hadn't set up sync as well, so it looks like the passwords are truly lost.
About the extensions: I see a folder named 'Extensions'. But how do I 'install' them as you mentioned before?

@denniswilson-0 Inside the Extensions folder, do you see some folders with a bunch of letters and numbers as their names?

@leocg Yeah, I see them. But I do not see a setup file or any executable in those folders.

@denniswilson-0 Open the extensions manager page (opera://extensions) and turn on the developer mode.
Click on Load Unpacked, go to the Extensions folder and select the first (sub)folder with the strange name. Inside it, open/select the folder with the version number.

@leocg Oh, nice! This works perfectly!
Thank you!
I'll add all extensions and clean up my installation. I'll also save your comment so I can use it in the future.
Thank you so much.

@leocg Hello, one follow-up question: I just found a csv extract of my passwords I had taken a few months ago. it contains a vast majority of the passwords I want to save, so I'd like o be able to import it. But i tried searching for an Import option, or even a Dev mode (like for the extensions), but I don't see one. I just see an easy way to export, nothing else. Would you help please?

@denniswilson-0 Enable opera://flags/#PasswordImport, then restart Opera and go to the passwords manager (opera://settings/passwords) and import the passwords from the file.

Thanks. I just tried it, and it worked.
I would have never found this out myself. Appreciate the help.
