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

          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?

                                        @baransekeroglu So the sites remember you even after you have closed Opera?

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