@mrwhitby They know about the issue, I just don't know if they were able to reproduce it already.

Installed GX on Macbook M1 and faced this really annoying bug today. It really makes browser unusable. GX even don't remember my opera account in its settings. Btw, don't have this problem on Linux and windows, thou. Hope devs can fix this mess ASAP...

Hi, I just got my computer changed to M1 Macbook Air and I had problems trying to import the passwords from a CSV file but somehow it does not work. Whenever I imported the passwords it showed that the passwords are imported. Then I realized that the browser didn't even save my passwords even though I have "Offer to save passwords" on.

I've tried reinstalling the browser and deleting the entire directory of in my computer but it still wouldn't let me import the passwords. Can anyone help?

I did a little research and ran Opera GX in debug mode, the following errors were written out when closing:

Among other things, I noticed the point "Failed to restore security token" here, which means: "This error suggests that the browser was not able to restore a security token, which can cause issues with accessing certain websites."

Which could be a possible mistake, which is why Opera has no way to store such things as registrations, But that's just a guess, at least this seems to be a general Mac problem, as older versions such as 89.0.4447.98 are also affected

@zenixco we all have same issue, it's about MacOS only, both Linux and Windows Opera versions work fine, problem is about 1 month old and still there is no fix to it. Unfortunately, browser now is unusable on MacOS till further notice. When will this notice be - only Odin and developers know...

Solution also working for me. But is this the official way, or will the devs implement a update?

@itimelezz I'm guessing you'll have to do this yourself and no update will do it automatically.

Yeah already done this, as I previously wrote, it worked. But the devs should be able to fix such a issue
