      @nocreativity As said, your saved passwords are encrypted using your OS login credentials and can't be used in another OS installation or by a different user.

      The only way to "move" saved passwords to a different device/OS installation is by using Sync or by exporting and importing them.

          @logojorge As known, only pre-defined search engines can be set as default one. And the one in start page can't be changed.

              @dalastofos As well known, Speed Dials are synchronized but not automatically populated, you need to do that manually.

              See the FAQ. Copy the entries you want to Speed Dial to have them in the current Speed Dial.

                  @ope3gameux There is no picture in the favorites page, except for the avatar of the author of the post that you marked as a favorite.

                      @ope3gameux When you add the page to bookmarks, you can choose a image to be set as its thumbnail.

                        I did 'version' in the search and got a huge amount of info that said copy to clipboard which I did. Do you need me to impart all that info? I hope not.
                        All I would like to know is - after I have added a few sites to the speed dial page is it possible to delete them from the page?

                            I would like to change search engine in the Opera main page box. I don't like Google because it is too much intrusive. Is it possible?

                              @nippunique As known, the search field in start page can be hidden but it can't be changed.

                                I changed pc, and I wanted to transfer the settings to the new pc. How can the program tabs be transferred as well? Because these are not transferred.

                                  @kokserpico Opened tabs from other Opera installations can be accessed by clicking on the tabs icon in sidebar or by going to opera://activity

                                    Hello,

                                    I wanted to change my default search engine from Google to Bing. I followed the instructions and went to the settings and substituted Bing for Google by selecting it from the dropdown menu. But when I opened a new tab, the start page still showed Google as my default search engine. I closed Opera and opened it again, but still Google was shown as my default search engine, although Bing was my default search engine according to my settings. I then signed out from my Opera account and signed in again, but even this didn't help. Still my start page shows Google and my settings Bing as my default search engine. What am I supposed to do?

                                      @berntr As widely known, search engine in start page/speed dial can not be changed. You can hide it in settings page if you want.

                                        This is actually another bug report, but just like the other time, I couldn't find the bug report category... My default search engine is DuckDuckGo, but the search bar that shows up in Speed Dial is Google:

                                        alt text

                                        Here is what I get when I search through the address bar, which is working as expected:
                                        alt text
