I tried to import bookmarks. 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.

You could close down Opera and delete the "Login Data" and "Login Data-journal" files in the Opera profile folder to see if it helps.
You could also goto the URL
opera://flagsin 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. -

@hjk1 I don't remember. 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.

36 worked on XP SP3 at the time.. The last version listed on the FTP site is 36.0.2130.80 as you can see here: http://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera-winxpvista/

Saving of passwords specifically worked? (I don't remember)

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. -

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. -

@hjk1 You can create another user account on Windows for testing and set a password for it. 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.

@burnout426 Thanks for your hints. I tried everything - passwords, new user, profile directory. It does not work.
I don't want to bother you any longer, so I give up.
BTW - Chrome also stores no passwords, only Firefox does. -

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 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). -

@hjk1 I can't tell you what to do, only you know that. 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)

User at https://forums.opera.com/topic/36957/opera-dont-save-passords-win10-solution-12-2019 said that if you have your network connection in Windows set to "public" instead of "private", it might cause this issue. Not sure if that's the case for Opera 36, but something to check.
