      Hello everyone!
      Yesterday i noticed that somebody from Brazil logged into my opera account. As soon as i noticed this, i changed my Opera password and activated the two factor authentication.
      What does this means regarding my saved passwords? Is that person able to see all my saved passwords from different websites? Is there any security feature that might block that hacker to view my passwords?

      Many thanks!

        @racere36 Did you have sync enabled when it happened?

        Your saved passwords are stored encrypted, so it wouldn't be that easy for someone to see them just by accessing your account.

            @racere36 It would be only way someone maybe could access your saved passwords and it wouldn't be something trivial.

            I guess you have nothing to worry about but if you want even more security, then enable a passphrase for sync.
