@akshatsadhu It depends on the page if Opera will be able to save passwords or not.

If the webpage is telling Opera not to ask you to save the the login info, you can try one of these extensions:

Another thing you can try (just in case your password file is partially corrupted).

Goto the URL opera://settings/passwords, click the 3 dots to the right of "saved passwords" and export your passwords to a csv file. Then, open the csv file in a text editor and make sure your passwords are really there.

Then, in Opera, goto the URL opera://about, and take note of the "profile" path.

Then, goto the URL opera://flags/#password-import, enable the import flag, and close Opera.

Then, in Windows Explorer (File Explorer), with file extensions and hidden items enabled under "View -> Show", browse to the profile folder and delete the "Login Data" file.

Then, start Opera, goto the URL opera://settings/passwords, click the 3 dots to the right of "saved passwords", and choose to import the csv file you previously exported.

Then, try logging into a site that doesn't have its login info saved at opera://settings/passwords, and see if Opera asks you to save this time.

Also note that at the URL opera://settings/passwords, you can click the "add" button and manually add a username and password for a URL if you have to.
