                Seems like clearing Third Party Data fixes it.

                  It doesn't, not for me. I can't access any site, and get the same notification over and over again: 'Authentication credentials required.' When are you going to fix this, Opera?

                    Clearing "Third party services data" under "Clear browsing data" fixed the "Authentication credentials required" when using Opera VPN problem for me:

                    Menu->More Tools->Clear browsing data

                    Uncheck everything except "Third party services data"

                    Select "the beginning of time" (I didn't check to see if a more limited date range would work)

                    Click "Clear browsing data"

                        @rob05667, Thanks Bro, this procedure worked for me as well, I think most people with this same problem would benefit
                        from "Clearing Browsing Data", Specially "Clearing Third party services data".
                        I even had another problem, namely I couldn't login to google.com because of an stupid error about not having cookies set and that is over as well, so thank you very much.
