      Opera for linux does ask to save the password, I followed almost all rules about browsers' algorithms to detect a login form.

      I host this locally on my developing workstation and others can reach me using the local ip + port (dev is over http, not https)

      Sample of form that should ask for saving credentials:

      Basically there is an event.preventDefault() on the submit event of the form and the actual login process is done using socket.io

      <form>
          <div class="form-group">
              <div class="input-group">
                  <div class="input-group-prepend"><span class="input-group-text"><svg aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" data-prefix="fas" data-icon="user" role="img" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 448 512" class="svg-inline--fa fa-user fa-w-14"><path fill="currentColor" d="M224 256c70.7 0 128-57.3 128-128S294.7 0 224 0 96 57.3 96 128s57.3 128 128 128zm89.6 32h-16.7c-22.2 10.2-46.9 16-72.9 16s-50.6-5.8-72.9-16h-16.7C60.2 288 0 348.2 0 422.4V464c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h352c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48v-41.6c0-74.2-60.2-134.4-134.4-134.4z" class=""></path></svg></span></div>

        What do Chrome and Vivaldi on Windows do for the same situation? If Opera's different, I'd consider that a bug, especially since it works on Linux in Opera.

        Any difference if you use <input type="submit"... instead of a button?

        Mabye https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2382329/how-can-i-get-browser-to-prompt-to-save-password will help.
