      @Martens263 The restart itself shouldn't have caused issues. Maybe the crash is related to it?

      What happens when you try to see a password?

        Opera was an open task when Windows crashed.

        I am a little bit confused... there are two opera.exe files:

        • One is in the download-folder,
        • the other one in a folder within the download-folder, its name is "114.0.5282.94".

        But the password managers in both Opera-Versions are empty...

          @Martens263 That's normal, the one under the main directory is a copy of the one in the ' version number" folder.

            @Martens263 Maybe the Login Data file got corrupted with the crash.

              @leocg Is there a chance to restore it?

                @Martens263 You can try opening it in a database editor and see if you can export the data

                    @Martens263 In the profile directory, all your Opera related data is there.

                    It's valid for any Chromium based browser.

                    Check opera://about for the path to it.

                      @leocg I've found it two minutes ago and opened it with the windows editor. I can see the usernames now, but not the passwords (they are encrypted?)

                        @Martens263 Yep, that will be a problem.

                        What happens if you try to export passwords in Opera?

                          @leocg Strange, there are two files with the name "login data":

                          • one file is in "C:\Users\Username\Downloads\profile"
                          • the other one is "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable"

                          How can I export passwords in the Opera settings? I think there is no such option because the settings say that there are no passwords.

                              @leocg Finally I was able to get my data with a script (hack-browser-data). But thanks for your advice!
