Hi,

opera is not offering the save password dialog for some sites. but it is for some others. what is strange is that it offered it to me for a internal device, but not for a 2nd device that is completely the same (same manufacturer, same model and even same firmware). so i have no idea why opera is not offering it?
and i cant find any way to manually add the user/password to the database. or a setting that says dont offer for this url.

any ideas?
OS: win10 x64
opera beta stream V 74.0.3911.63

thanks,
chris

@blacky7790 As already said, Opera will only prompt to save passwords if the page allows (password) autofill.

You need to right-click on the password field, choose "inspect" and look for autocomplete="off". If you don't see it, you'll need to scroll up till you see <form and look for autocomplete="off" there. If autocomplete="off" is present on the form and or the password input, that tells the browser not to ask to save your login info.

If that's the case, you can try using one of these to override it:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autocomplete-on/kkffidhhikbopjomeeaihconieppiaan

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/always-autocomplete/djcfppnajkeijjkplclmeiddkefeaiel

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autocomplete-on/dmgaojnlejjhojlgplleamihdkffahbg

If you're not running into this particular issue, it might be some other extension or adblocker interfering. If that's not the case, we'd need to see the page to take a look at it.

In a text editor, create passwords.csv:

name,url,username,password
accounts.google.com,https://accounts.google.com/signin/v2/challenge/pwd,yourusername,yourpassword
twitter.com,https://twitter.com/login,yourusername,yourpassword

(I included 2 examples. You have to make sure you get the domain name on URLs right for the pages you need.)

Then, in Opera, goto the URL opera://flags/#PasswordImport, enable the import flag, restart Opera, goto the URL opera://settings/passwords, click the 3 vertical dots to the right of "saved passwords" and choose to import the csv file.

Hi,

thanks for the sugestions. the thing is that opera stored the password for my NAS 1 but not for my NAS2. they arr the same manufacturer and model and software version. so it cant be a site setting.

i tried to imort the password and can see it in the password list, but dont get it suggested (also after restart of opera.

i wil ltry the addons later today.

thanks,
chris

Are you going to both via https (as opposed to http)? Might be something to do with security. Anything way different about their ip addresses compared to each other?

As a test, remove the NAS 1 entry from passwords (and the imported NAS 2 entry)? Then, log into NAS 2 and see if Opera asks to save in your login info.

If the port isn't 80, you might have to include the port number in the URL in the csv file for Opera to recognize it.

Also, do a test in a standalone installation to see if Opera ask to save the password for both there.

i delted the entries today and went to the site again, but no offer of the password. i imported again but still no change.
i had the port added to the link when importing the first time. i checked the details on both links but there is except the ip no difference.
