Been using Opera for years, and I open 1 passworded website every day. Suddenly now I have to enter my password every time. Such a nuisance.

@didad38 The page/password is listed as saved in the passwords manager?

@didad38 And Opera doesn't automatically fill the username and password fields?

@didad38 if you click on the username field, do you see it listed?

@leocg
No. I assume you mean in the 'passwords saved'.

@didad38 Sometimes when you go to a login page, you need to click on the username field for the saved password to be used.

Goto the URL opera://settings/passwords, delete the entry for the site. Then, goto the URL opera://settings/content/all, type the site's domain (site.com for example) in the search field, and click "clear displayed data".

Then, go back to the site and try to log in and see if Opera asks to save the password again. If it doesn't, install https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autocomplete-on/kkffidhhikbopjomeeaihconieppiaan, clear data for the site again, and try to log in again to see if the site asks to save the password.

Once you get the password stored in Opera again, log out of the site, reload the page and see if the login form is then filled in.

@didad38 What about other sites? I tried that one and I get a certificate error (only valid for remote.*), not sure if that could be related to the problem.
Your screenshot means you deleted the credentials and they were successfully saved again later?

@alobpreis
The website shown is the only website that I have a saved password for.

@didad38 And......... why don't you try any other site to see if there's a problem with it? There are sites which have Javascript code that clears the fields.
