@deblyn56 There should be an option listed to export your passwords. Import is slightly harder in that you need to set a commandline option to import.

@deblyn56 See https://forums.opera.com/rules and https://forums.opera.com/topic/43601/instructions-on-posting-about-problems-in-opera-for-windows/1

If you say what is happening, maybe someone will be able to help.

@deblyn56 Do you still have the old computer, does it still work, and can you still run Opera on it?

If so:

Method 1:

Goto the URL opera://settings/passwords and make sure it shows saved passwords for all your sites. Then, click the 3 vertical dots to the right of "saved passwords" and choose to export them as a csv file.

If you're able to do that, on the new computer, launch Opera, goto the URL opera://flags/#password-import, enable the import flag, restart Opera, goto the URL opera://settings/passwords, click the 3 vertical dots to the right of "saved passwords", and choose to import your passwords.csv file.

Method 2:

In Opera on the old computer, goto "Menu -> Synchronize" and log into sync with your Opera account credentials. When logged in, choose to sync your passwords at least. Then on Opera on the new computer, log into sync and choose to sync your passwords. Then, goto the URL opera://settings/passwords to verify they're there.
