Not seeing how to easily access passwords

In other browsers, I've figured out how to quickly get to my passwords with just a few clicks.
In Opera, I have to search "pass" in Settings to get the section to show. The section appears to be in "Autofill and passwords", but when I try to find that while in Settings, I'm left with a bunch of dead ends.
When I look up the instructions - https://help.opera.com/en/latest/web-preferences/ - they appear to not be correct:
- Go to Settings.
(Which button is meant? The 3-line "hamburger" button at the top right? Or the 3-dot "ellipses" button at the bottom left? Are these called "menu" buttons or "settings" buttons anyway?)
- Click Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Privacy & security.
(I see no "Advanced" anything from either menu/settings button.)
- Under Autofill, click the category you are interested in – Passwords, Payment methods or Addresses and more.
(I can only find Autofill by searching "auto" in "full browser settings" from the top-right menu button; nothing I click so far goes to it.)
- Turn on the Save and fill… option.
(It's already on anyway, it was enabled from install setup, and I have passwords saved.)
Anyway, here I am spending time typing this out because it's so annoying having to search for common settings by typing words.
Please either clean this all up (including instructions) or let me know the "clickpath" (what to click) to get to passwords.

@opavicus Yep, that page may not exactly be up to date, but it's not that difficult to open settings page and find the passwords manager.
Open settings by going to menu > settings or by clicking directly on settings icon in sidebar.
There you can search for passwords or you can scroll down until you find it
