@fckopera Do a backup before.

That does not help unless you first explain how to do what you suggest.

@fckopera How you do backups? You create a copy of the data you want to backup and store it somewhere else.
Take a look at https://help.opera.com/en/latest/crashes-and-issues/#backup

@fckopera Create a copy of the whole Opera's profile directory, it's the best thing to do.

By the way, saved passwords will only work if you install Opera in the same computer and with the same user.
