        It's an CVS File. It opens and it closes. Which problem could there probably be?

            It seems it is encrypted.
            When opening it, I'm getting the following message handed:
            b6a82d92-4729-44e9-b347-925424753b5f-image.png

            The weird part is, the certificate issuer is Blizzard Entertainment, and I wonder why Opera would use certificates issued by Blizzard.
            But there is more to it. When trusting the certificate I'm getting the next message:
            d581c1a5-f260-49f2-a52c-2ad947616c70-image.png
            When opening the file, I see this:
            c208e794-26fb-4be3-b7ea-0185ee875c7d-image.png
            Makes no sense to me.

              @ecto How did you export the passwords to that file?

                @ecto How did you export the passwords to that file?

                Follow the below steps to export your saved passwords from the Opera browser. To start:

                • Launch your Opera browser and click on Settings (the geared wheel), which is in the left-hand menu. If you can’t see it, you should first click on three dots and select Settings. At this point, the geared wheel should appear.

                • In Settings, click on Advanced - Privacy & Security and under the Autofill go to Passwords. Click on the three dots icon next to Saved Passwords and choose Export Passwords.

                • At this step, it should prompt you to enter your computer password to allow the export.

                • Choose a safe location where you want to save your exported passwords, choose the file format of CSV (Comma-separated values), and hit Save.

                I followed above shown instructions.

                  In my case, the "Opera Passwords.csv" file is a simple text file that can be opened in any editor. It contains a list of sites, logins and passwords. There is nothing encrypted there.

                    The file looks like an exe file and not a csv file.

                      I agree, the content looks like a typical .exe or .dll file. Opera browser or another browser based on the Chromium engine could not save such a .csv file.

                        But it did. This is the outpout file generated by Opera. Believe it or not. I have no idea what happened. There is no Malware involved, the files is shown as CSV file but it seems there is sort of a code in there. When I want to open it, I´m advised that the content does not coincide with the files format. The file has a certificate issued by Blizzard Entertaining.
                        I´m aware now, that this can´t be fixed anymore, but it´s quite weird.

                          Or, was it Blizzard Entertainment?

                          Did you have any Blizzard games on the old PC? Any ones with anti-cheat rootkits in them? If so, maybe it interfered with the export process. Or, it was just a bug in Opera at the time.

                          Can you save a password in Opera and export it to confirm that it actually produces a csv file with the password in it?
