<![CDATA[Passwords are not saved]]>I tried again to switch from my old FF to Opera. Newest version 36.0.2130.80. I am asked if the passwords should be saved, but they are not saved. I searched this forum, tried everything, nothing works. The password list from settings remains empty. I tried to import a lot of bookmarks and passwords from FF, no bookmarks, no passwords. If this error remains, I have to stay with FF, very sad. What can I do? Any help?

The problem has now appeared for me too in Opera 66 for Ubuntu 19.10.
My latest update is 66.0.3515.44

I solved this by... switching to Opera Developer 😛
Installed it.
Current version is 68.0.3581.0
Synced to my normal Opera account.
BAM! all the passwords that until recently were saved in Opera 66 (but were NOT displayed, as if Opera had no passwords saved) appeared in Opera Dev. It saves them, it automatically fills forms, the works.

I might eventually want to go back to the "stable" version of Opera, but until this problem is fixed I'll happily stay on the Dev channel.
On a side-note, might be nice for Opera account to be able to also sync installed extensions 😛

Not sure if that's the case for Opera 36, but something to check.

Have you tried installing the newest Opera on your Windows 8 notebook and if so, can you then import your passwords into the Opera 60, either by synchronizing ONLY the password, or importing them from the CS file you have generated from your XP version (maybe O36 will not export passwords)

I have a lot of programs (also paid ones), that will only work on XP. Example with my Garmin: Mapsource works great, but I can not install it on my notebook with Windows-8. I had to use BaseCamp, which is really bad. I have to buy other programs or updates and I need a lot of time, not possible because I need the pc every day. I had to buy a new pc and a new monitor and install it in parallel...
I tried to switch to Ubuntu, but too many problems, bad scan software and so on. Some important programs are only available for Windows.
(sorry for my english, its not my mother language).

You are right, its still the wonderful Windows-XP... 🙂
But is it supposed to work with XP? Doesn't seem so.

As an aside, it took me forever to FINALLY upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, from XP, but I bit the bullet and though it took me forever (I used a program like Laplink PCMover), it solved SO many problems I had been having. Same thing happened as I was using Opera 12, and stuck with it forever...but finally bit the bullet (again) and upgraded to New Opera based on Chromium. And again, all my Opera issues disappeared.

Now I won't tell you when to to, but upgrading Operating Systems, and then to New Opera will be worth the time it takes to do this.

I don't want to bother you any longer, so I give up.
BTW - Chrome also stores no passwords, only Firefox does.

That will also give you a fresh Opera profile to test with and it won't interfere with your current Opera and current user account. When you're done testing, you can delete the user account.

No, I don't want to do this. I'm afraid to lock my pc. I don't trust MS.
My wife uses the same XP and the same Opera, no OS password.
Her passwords are saved. Strange.

I tried everything, every single hint in this forum. Nothing works.
Finally I deinstalled Opera, erased all files and directories of Opera
and installed completely new. The problems are still the same.
Opera 36.0.2130.80 does not work as it should.
I wanted to switch from Firefox to the much better Opera,
but without password saving, its useless for me.
Can anyone please close this thread, its not solved,
but useless to keep it open anymore.
Thanks for help to everyone.

Maybe Opera 36 required that you have a password for your Windows user account set before it'd save passwords. So, try that if you don't have one set.

It might be some security software or Opera extensions interfering with Opera. Then again, maybe it requires some update that WinXP that isn't installed. Or, maybe one of the last XP updates broke something. Or, maybe it was just broken in Opera 36 on WinXP. where 36 works on newer OS's.

You could also goto the URL opera://flags in Opera and search for "autocomplete" to see if there's an option to override "autocomplete=off" on web pages to make sure Opera is offering to save passwords. Not sure if that option was in 36 though.

First try - directly over the settings. Opera says ok, but nothing is there. Second try - export from FF to HTML-File, import with Opera addon. Addon says everything ok, xxx bookmarks imported, but nothing is there.

I think, Opera has severe problems. I will stay with FF. Thanks for your help.

Yes, it does save bookmarks. New bookmarks, the import von FF doesn't work, no error message, but no result. According to another hint, I gave full access to the profile directory - no change.

If you were having problems with your profile, then you wouldn't be able to save passwords or bookmarks ... so if bookmarks are fine it isn't a profile issue.
