@pol3ovatel What do you mean by passwords are reset?
Most likely he means that after update all passwords are lost - this was answer to my question about all or specific sites.

@leocg FWIW, I interpreted the comment as Opera remembers passwords when closing, but passwords for all sites are remove/deleted/cleared/gone when Opera updates. As in, it's only when updating.

The passwords are reset from the "password base"
The are needed to be Reputed (reentered) in the site and it is not saved in the opera pass word base.
Comprende? -

Same problem here. Today, suddenly, Opera does not complete the remembered passwords on some pages at all.
On some, he proposes old, out-of-date versions of passwords.
It happened to me on the computer at work and at home.
Fortunately, I often export passwords to a file,
But it's weak overall ... -

Absolutely different problem, sorry.

It happened to me on the computer at work and at home.This sounds like synchronization issue. Have you enabled Opera synchronization?

Hmm, does Chrome remeber passwords properly?
About your system - seems that you are using windows7 in russian. OP in current thread (pol3ovatel) was probably also using russian windows; maybe Opera has some problems in windows 7 or russian windows. Have you checked russian part of these forums, are there some similar problems reported?

Well, yesterday, during a day i had a password problem with a computer at my work
(part of passwords was gone, and I think those were the ones that were remembered in 2020 and 2021, the older ones remained) - no Opera account/no synchronization.
Today, as i said, something similar happened with my home computer (out-of-date passwords in use, Opera synchronization enabled).
In fact, I didn't notice if it happened after an Opera update, sorry.
I thought I'd share it on the forum.

U do laggy product.
Former versions were more stable, actually.C:\Users******\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Login Data

Me should just use your product as an original idea, no? -

I'm in no way related to Opera, but being a developer myself, I think that they [Opera] force updates deliberately - this way they don't need to support multiple versions of software and (for dev and beta versions) they get much better feedback about new bugs and problems. Of course I hate such policy too

@pol3ovatel After the update I don't need to enter the password again, sometimes I don't even realize that any update comes.

If?
Opera is opera
Chrome is chrome.
Isn't it?There are about two browser engines in Windows world available - one (Mozilla) is what runs Firefox, Pale Moon, Waterfox and some more and another (Chromium) powers Chrome, Opera, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave and likely many more browsers. Thereby yes, Opera is Opera and Chrome is Chrome, but they share same browser core engine and many internal components, including password manager.
This means that many Opera problems originate in Chromium engine and can appear in Chrome too.
