Do you have a password set for your user account on the computer? I'm not sure if that's a requirement or not, but when you click export, it should pop up a dialog asking you to enter your user account credentials before the export happens.

Edit: Nevermind. It's not working for me either.

@danielsuarez369 It is an issue reported by several users.I think it is on Opera's end and this should be escalated somehow.

Ctrl + Shift + i and switch to the console tab before you click export. You'll see the error. FYI'd some Opera people about it and this thread.

Yep, in the console I get this error:

extensions::schemaUtils:115 Uncaught Error: Invocation of form passwordsPrivate.exportPasswords() doesn't match definition passwordsPrivate.exportPasswords(function callback)

There is a workaround though.

Enable opera://flags/#new-md-settings to make opera://settings look like Chrome's. Then, goto opera://settings/passwords and click the 3 dots to the far right of "Saved Passwords". When you do, a menu will pop up showing "Export passwords" as an option.

Note though that not everything is perfect in Opera's settings when opera://flags/#new-md-settings is enabled. So, you might want to disable that after you're done exporting.

Thanks to leocg for the workaround.

Note: The issue wish the export button is probably just due to a change in Chromium where Opera just has to update it to match.
