does opera check for password breaches?

@operauserx And they do it before the service from where the passwords were stolen?

It may be better not to have any web browser save passwords and use an independent program if such is needed.

that will definitely slow down the browser.
i try the most to block cookies and cache to get the maximum speed.
i even try to avoid any extensions unless they are really neccesary.

if opera does not check for password breach then if my VPN is on then will my password go to the hacker in the encrypted form?? (not going to turn it on for 24/7 as things will go very slow)

@operauserx How they get the info about the possible passwords leaking?If there is a password leaking in site XYZ, will you get informed before the site XYZ does that?

a VPN encrypts your data, so everything will be encrypted.
that time the attacker steals the password, he cant used it as VPN has encrypted it.
do you think that will help?

@operauserx I don't really think that someone would try to get your passwords that way.
And nowadays, unless your are connecting to an insecure site, your connection is encrypted. -
