      @losthorn What limit are you talking about? There shouldn't be any significant difference from Chromium, since Opera uses Chromium password manager.

        @leocg Opera will not allow you to import as CSV password file that is larger than 150 kb. My Chrome export file is 196 kb.

          @losthorn Ah, then explain the issue correctly in your post.

          What happens when you try to import the passwords?

            @leocg I get error saying the file is over the 150 kb maximum.

            My post was addressed to members that had found a workaround to the problem. Clearly, anyone that had a workaround would know exactly what I was referring to.

              @losthorn What happens if you try to import the passwords in other Chromium based browsers?

                @losthorn You didn't say anything about the problem be with importing the passwords. The way it was written, make it looks like if Opera couldn't save passwords if the limit was reached.

                    Chrome seems to also have the issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/15w6r70/g_chrome_unable_to_import_passwordfile_if_150kb/

                      @losthorn said in Password File Size Limit Workaround:

                      Has anyone found a way around the Opera limitation on the size of the password file?

                      Split the csv file up into multiple csv files. Just make sure the headers are on the first line in the other files. like they are in the first file. Then, import each of them separately.

                        Looks like limit is set here:

                        https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:components/password_manager/core/browser/import/password_importer.cc;drc=45c4058fd01d05e82e7bc6ced568f028d9b3b104;l=71

                        and the check for that limit is here:

                        https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:components/password_manager/core/browser/import/password_importer.cc;l=81

                        Code shows that it's definitely done on purpose.
