But there should be a file, like I said.

I found the file and deleted it. Logged in to a site: no prompt. Password was not saved.

Do a backup before then.

Just to test with a separate Opera profile without interfering with your existing Opera profile, download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder on you desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "import data from default browser" and install. Don't enable Opera Sync in this test Opera.

Does saving of passwords at least work fine there?

Thank you for your instructions, which I followed. In the new installation I have the same problem: no prompt, password not saved:
Any other Ideas?

Does your windows account have any password set?

Like you do any backup, you copy the contents of the folder to another place.

In Opera, goto the URL chrome://flags/#enable-autofill-ignore-autocomplete-off and set the flag to "Enabled". Then, try again.

What sites have you tested with? I assume you logged in on here and Opera never asked you to save?

Other things to try (in that standalone installation for now) would be to goto the URL opera://settings/system, disable hardware acceleration, restart Opera and then try again.

What security software do you have installed? Do you ahve Bitdefender and or Sandboxie? Have yo utried temporarily disabling anti-virus and such?

Thank you for your ideas and help. I tried the first URL but nothing changed.
I have Malwarebytes installed.

I think I am giving up. I tried Firefox and the saving of the credentials works fine. I will try Firefox.

Again thank you very much.
