      Following some planned laptop repair, I've lost all my Opera bookmarks and passwords. But when I follow the instructions to import the html file of passwords I exported before the laptop was repaired, it doesn't work. I've tried closing and restarting the browser, but they're still not showing up. I also exported a csv file of all my passwords before the repair happened, but I can't even find how to re-import them.

        @catwrangler Passwords are exported to a CSV file.
        To import them, you need to enable the Import Passwords flag.

          Hi, I have the same problem. I saw many other posts online and I tried to enable the Import Password flag, but I'm getting an error.

          This is the command I'm typing in terminal:
          /Applications/Opera.app/Contents/MacOS/Opera --enable-features=PasswordImport

          And this is what terminal replies:
          dyld: warning, LC_RPATH @loader_path/../../../../../../../../../.. in /Applications/Opera.app/Contents/Frameworks/Opera Framework.framework/Versions/77.0.4054.277/Helpers/Opera Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/Opera Helper being ignored in restricted program because of @loader_path (Codesign main executable with Library Validation to allow @ paths)

          Help is appreciated

            @fabiobalaguer You go to opera://flags and enable the Password Import flag:
            opera://flags/#PasswordImport

            Then you import the CSV file with your exported passwords in opera://settings/passwords

              @leocg said in Importing saved bookmarks doesn't work and I can't find out how to import saved passwords:

              opera://flags/#PasswordImport

              There is no opera://flags/#PasswordImport flag - it says "no matching experiments"
              There is no import password option in settings
              If you haver to reprogram the operating system to import passwords (which doesn't work) this is not a practical option

              I'm switching from Chrome - and now going to Firefox which does allow password imports .. easily.

                @dutchvs As already said, the flag seems to have been removed by Chromium and, for now, you can enable the flag to unexpire m92 flags to get it back.
