      I'm trying to import from a CSV file but nothing's happening. Can import just fine on other browsers (tried on Vivaldi and Firefox) but not on Opera.

        Importing a password csv file works fine for me with Opera 86.0.4363.59 64-bit on Windows 11 Version 21H2 (Build 22000.675).

          Does importing into a test standalone installation work at least?

              @dy4y Do you need to know how to delete your profile for your regular Opera so Opera creates a new one or how to fix the issue with the existing problem profile?

                  @dy4y Goto the URL opera://settings/passwords, click the 3 dots to the right of "saved passwords``` and export your passwords to a csv file. Open that csv file with a text editor to make sure you see your already-stored usernames and passwords in there. If you don't have any stored yet, you can skip this part.

                  Then, goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, and close Opera.

                  Make a copy of the profile folder for good measure. Then, in the profile folder, delete the "Login Data" file.

                  Then, start Opera, goto the URL opera://flags/#password-import and make sure the import flag is enabled. If it's not, enable it and restart Opera.

                  Then, goto the URL opera://settings/passwords, click the 3 dots to the right of "saved passwords", and choose to import your csv file. It should import then. If not, we can try something else.
