      I dont really like the feature that the saved password in opera browser can be viewed by using windows login passwords.
      Anyone who knows my laptop password can easily see all my saved password of different sites. laptop password are easily shared among friends but i dont want my password to be revealed using just windows password.
      change this setting to opera login to view password.

        If anyone else, specially people you don't trust, know your OS password, then your security and privacy is already compromised.

          No one else should know the password for your user account on your laptop. If someone does, you need to change it. If someone else needs to use your laptop, set up a user account on there for them. Don't let them use yours.

              yeah this happens with every browser but we need change.
              why not opera use cloud based password manager only.

                Not every user wants their passwords stored in the cloud - which would mean that a third party stores your confidential data on its servers, on whose security and so on you haven't any influence.

                At least I wouldn't feel comfortable with such storage and I wouldn't want it either.

                BTW: Opera server breach incident
