Re: Login-IDs File/DB or what
OS : Windows 10 Pro 64bit - Version : 2004 Build : 19041.610
Opera x64 - 72.0.3815.186

Days after upgrade Win10 to 2004 were a stabb in the back for Opera. Content in UserID/Password file was gone.
What I do know all versions behave perfect of Opera with Win10 version 1909.
My def. of Session ie exiting and restart. File means UserID/Password file. Login-ID ie User-ID and Password.
Tests
Cleaning Opera from PC, basic reinstall
Start Session 0 with empty File. Fetched a few new Login-IDs to Save. The File shows the fetched Login-IDs.
Start Session 1 File includes only the last fetched Login-ID. Fetched a few more Login-IDs to Save. Login-IDs showed up OK.
Exiting Opera, had a break.
New Session - The File showed casual a complete listing af former fetched Login-IDs (ab. 150 records from 1909 version). I have no explanation to it.
New Session - The File was empty.

It's obvious that this situation is a Microsoft problem, no blames to Opera.
When cleaning Opera traces how do old versions of Login-file survive ??
I will believe many users experience the same problem.
Are there any fix to update Win10 ??

Or does Opera clear "Passwords and other sign-in data" by mistake ??

Have observed one severe difference between OS Win10 1909 and 2004 - in 2004 File Date Stamping is set to ON by default. So far one has to make a surgical cut to fix the option.
To whom that use SSD for start-up, FDS should be OFF otherwise Opera/Password Manager will more or less miss references to LoginID db.

@erik_s said in Login-IDs gone:

File Date Stamping

Have you tried changing/disabling it to see if it solves the problem? And, if so, what value did you set it to?

Did find an error in the parameters.
User Managed parameteres should be -
0 : disable
1 : enable
I'm in the start testing it using Option 1.
Can't tell more, but somehow I have access to my LoginID file, but I don't know the durability.
it's a strange problem as Microsoft force Enable to to parameter.

Tests so far:

In documents from Microsoft the values for Disable/Enable are as shown in pic 1
Test value 0 : User Managed is set to Disable; see pic 2
Test value 2 : User Managed is set to Disable; see pic 3

It may seem that MS has switched the values for Disable/Enable options.
Access to LoginIDs via Password Manager so far is only through Value 0, but not permanent. It happens that LoginID-file just disappears during the Opera session.

At present MS forces enabling date stamp and ignores all SSD OS-installations.

I have Windows 10 2004 (Build 19041.572). I ran:

fsutil behavior query disableLastAccess

and get:

DisableLastAccess = 2  (System Managed, Disabled)

and everything works fine with Opera for me.

But, I'm not using an SSD.

@burnout426 As I initial said - this is a SSD problem. Using trad HDD no problems.

@erik_s I've got:

fsutil behavior query disableLastAccess
DisableLastAccess = 2 (Gerenciado pelo Sistema, Desabilitado)

I'm have an SSD and don't have such issues with saved passwords.
