      I've tried to import passwords from chrome into GX and nothing happens no matter how many times i attempt it

      I've exported a csv file for all my passwords, but find no way to import that file directly.

      help, or a fix would be much appreciated

        @HRBNGR Enable the password import flag and then import your exported passwords.

          Sorry, but i'm not able to find the Password import flag, Where do i find that?

          Edit, had to do wayyyyyy more digging online than i should have needed to, for future reference of people needing this fix, go to opera://flags/#PasswordImport And you'll be able to find it there

            I tri ed the Import everything from [Settings] [Import Bookmarks & Settings] [Firefox] - no passwords loaded. Tried again with just password - no PW's.

            Tried the enable FlagsImport thing, Closed Opera, opened and tried again - no PW's.

            Tried making CSV's from FF and Chromium, import, no PW's.

            This is make or break on Opera for me - no PW import I go back to Chromium as main browser.

            Any suggestions?

            I've been browsing for posible solutions - do Opera techs ever Reply on the forums? Because so far I haven't seen any nor found anything useful under Opera Help.

              @Journeyman If Firefox can export passwords, you can import them in Opera. Just read above and go to the passwords manager.

                @leocg - Thanks but I tried that.See above about CSV's. It didn't work, from the FF csv or the chromium csv.

                And I just discovered that Opera also lost all my folder structure for my bookmarks as well as the Descriptions.

                I am not going to sit and edit hundreds of bookmarks to add in descriptions and move them to folders. Firefox and Chromium both had zero problems with this.

                Note I also DID try to import all my settings, bookmarks and PW's when I installed Opera.
