I Have been using opera for several years now and it begined 1 or 2 years ago i searched the forums looked up every solution available nothing worked and before you ask yes my cookies are on yes i tried renaming my profile directory to reset opera yes i fully uninstalled opera several times.
Whenever i close opera when i open it every site resets my account and i have to log in again and again normally before i started using opera it would stay logged in or log in automatically to the sites that i have an account but it doesnt so can you please help me

@baransekeroglu So Opera doesn't save your passwords or it does save but you are being logged off from sites?

@leocg it doesn't remember passwords and logs me off the sites but when i try to log in again it gives the username for me to click no password tho

when i try to save passwords it says no passwords saved i tried manually adding it didn't work
it also logs me off and makes me enter my information again if i close opera and open it

@baransekeroglu Try with a clean profile.

Settings changes, bookmarks, etc are saved?

@baransekeroglu It seems that Opera is not being able to write on the profile directory and, therefore, save the changes.
Did you try running Opera as administrator?

Also download and install Opera Portable and see if it has the same issue.

Do you have set any password on your windows account? I kinda remember some old problems with passwordless accounts, maybe this is somehow related. (Opera encrypts saved passwords using windows account credentials.)

@baransekeroglu Don't remember have seen such message before. Opera doesn't seem to be able to write on your disk.
Can you save your passwords in other browsers?

What about cookies, they are saved?

@leocg After this issue with opera started no other browsers seem to be remembering my passwords too
and yes my cookies are saved

@baransekeroglu So we can't really say for sure that cookies are saved.
