      Until Opera comes into line with other browsers, I will give it a miss.
      Fiddling about with various commends and creating a CSV file on Chrome is simply not worth the effort when Chrome and Edge are superb browsers with no problems whatsoever.

        First, in chrome settings, go to export passwords, then you can import passwords in two ways:
        Go to the URL opera://settings/import data and import your passwords from Chrome. While importing passwords, make sure that the Chrome is closed.
        You can also import the CSV file; in Opera://settings/passwords, the "import" option will be available.

          I placed "opera://settings/import data " in the URL and nothing happened.

            @johnbull44 There is no space between import and data, it should be opera://settings/importData

            Anyway, you should try importing passwords in opera://settings/passwords

                  If I use Settings import passwords, It only acts a split second, says DONE and has done nothing.

                    @johnbull44 Any difference if you import through opera://settings/passwords?

                    Can you import the passwords in other Chromium based browsers?

                      I have tried to import passwords to Opera using all kinds of methods but they all fail.
                      No problem importing passwords to my other browsers.
                      I do not favour fiddling about with importing a CSV file. Not worth the effort.

                        Got It !

                        I enabled the import passwords in Opera flags - clicked the 3 dots against passwords - import - a panel came up showing my files - clicked the CSV file - Chrome passwords which I had exported and saved from Chrome and all my passwords came up in Opera !!

                        Problem sorted and thank you so much for your help.
