Need to Stop Username Suggestions

When I left click on the Username field at the login page for any website I am offered a list of suggested user names that I've used on other websites. I really don't want this feature to appear during login. Is there a way to turn this off? I've looked extensively through settings and can't find it. I do save some passwords for certain sites that I go to frequently and works but I saw nothing in that area of settings that dealt with the issue. Thanks for any ideas.

Hit the down arrow to highlight each of the entries and hit shift + del to get rid of them. Then, goto the URL opera://settings/autofill, click on "Addresses and more", and disable them to see if it stops them from being saved in the future.

Some sites might store those entries in cookies and show them in a field. For each site, you might have to goto the URL opera://settings/siteData, type the site's name in the search-cookies field, and click "remove all shown" (or find and delete the specific cookies(s) that store them).

If for some reason those entries are stuck and won't go away, goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera, and delete the "Web Data" file in the profile folder.

Fantastic! Thanks Burnout426! I did have the Save and fill addresses button turned on but interestingly there where no addresses saved in the list below. But the end result is that no usernames are being offered at login so success! Many thanks for the help!
