Sigh.

1. What is the difference between "logging in" to Opera and using the Opera browser?

2. I received an email saying I have not logged in for 700+ days even though I use the Opera browser "all the time".

3. I went through the process of resetting my password, I "copied" it with the mouse, but didn't paste it anywhere. I logged in. Then I copied the browser version. When I then tried to change the password, I didn't remember what I set it to!!! So I entered a "wrong" password multiple times, expecting it to take me to a password reset screen of some sort, but it just leaves me stuck on the password login screen!

I do not want to log out and then try figuring out how this maddening software login process works.

What do I do????

(And when I try to "do something" (I can't keep up - or should slow down) - I end up on a page for downloading the Opera browser which I don't need to do and am currently using already?????)

"Help" doesn't help.

Sigh. Frustrated. Since I have logged in (I think!), I suppose I could wait another 700+ days for another message.

@PBull As far as I know, if you don't login to your Opera account for more than two years, Opera considers that account abandoned and remove it. So they send those warning email messages.
