Yeah, and it suggests things that it shouldn't, like the login e-mail. When I press enter after searching it will ask if I want to save the "password", and when it's suggested later, it will show like if it was a username or e-mail with a password. It really makes no sense.

@daniels2129 Opera seeing the field as a login/password one may be a bad site configuration.

@daniels2129 How to reproduce? I don't see it happening here.

@leocg How exactly would it be a "bad site configuration"...

@daniels2129 Right-click on the field you're searching in and choose "inspect". In the Elements tab in the developer tools that load up, look at the type attribute for the field. If the site incorrectly uses <input type="password"... for example, that could cause Opera to show passwords for a field when it shouldn't.

Just to make sure there's nothing corrupted in Opera, I'd goto the URL opera://settings/addresses, disable "save and fill addresses" (this will clear your autofill but not anything at the URL opera://settings/passwords), goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and delete the "Web Data" file in the profile folder (to have Opera create a new one).

Then, when you start Opera, goto the URL opera://settings/content/all, type discord.com in the search field and click "clear displayed content". Some sites save and restore autofill data themselves view cookies or local storage.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear "cached images and files" for all time.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/addresses and turn "save and fill addresses" back on.

Then, log in to Discord again and then see if you still have the issue. If so, again, inspect the text field with developer tools to see if the site did something wrong with the type for it.

If you don't want autofill for text fields and all, you can keep "save and fill addresses" disabled.

@burnout426 It shows as <input class="input-2FSSDe" type="text" spellcheck="false" placeholder="Encontre o emoji perfeito" aria-disabled="false" role="combobox" aria-haspopup="grid" aria-autocomplete="list" aria-label="Buscar emoji" aria-controls="emoji-picker-grid" aria-expanded="true" aria-activedescendant="emoji-picker-grid-0-0" value="my email would appear here">

@daniels2129 Hmm, not sure. For what it's worth, I tried reproducing this on Discord in my Opera and couldn't.
