      Hello there,

      I have been using Opera for years.
      Recently, it happens that when I turn on my computer or when I am on the internet, I am disconnected from all my accounts (Google, Facebook etc...).
      When this happens the automatic connection is no longer possible and when I search for a password in the settings, the password is no longer stored.
      How does this happen?
      Which setting should I change?
      Thanks

        @calinhorely Something seems to be removing your data when you close Opera. Try setting a new profile directory and see if it helps.

          @leocg Thanks for your answer. So I need to create a new profile ?
          Because I just created a profile to connect to the forum and ask my question

            @calinhorely Profile is the directory in your computer where your data is stored. You can check the path for it in opera://about

            To create a new one, just rename the current one.

              @leocg Thanks. I found the Opera folder in my Ubuntu explorer, but there are so many different folders and files in it. How do I know which one to change? I couldn't find one called Profile

                  @leocg Ok, so I change the "opera" name ?
                  I've this :
                  Installation : /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera
                  Profil : /home/user/.config/opera
                  Cache : /home/user/.cache/opera

                        Hello, I have the same problem again. I had an update shortly before. Can this be the cause?
                        It's really annoying
