@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.

@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!
