Password Manager doesn't save Username

When the pop-up box asking to save a password pops up, it sometimes doesn't save my username so I have to go into password manager and manually enter my username. Any solutions for this?

@aderryb There is a username field to be saved?

@leocg I think so, but it says "no username saved" but it saves the password- but I still have to go into the password manger and manually add it- or it sometimes saves the password twice?

I think I see this happening more when I use my own password rather than the suggested password.

When opera suggests a password, it doesn't include any special characters- is there a way I can change that because more sites require a special character.

@aderryb I guess it's because many sites nowadays use a login flow where you type the username in a page and the password in the next one and it may confuse the password manager.

This can happen if the website doesn’t properly label the username field, so Opera can’t detect it. To fix it, make sure Opera is updated to the latest version, then clear saved login data for that specific site under Settings → Privacy & Security → Passwords and log in again to trigger a fresh save prompt. If the issue continues, try disabling extensions that manage passwords, as they can interfere with Opera’s built-in password manager.
