Saved passwords on hard drive

kanni-knai last edited byMy laptop recently died due to being unable to connect to any power source, forcing me to use the hard drive to transfer files and data onto a new computer. I had a lot of passwords saved on Opera GX and it would be a pain trying to recall every website I have with an account. Are passwords saved onto the hard drive similar to Chrome or Firefox, and if so where can I find them and how can I transfer them?

@kanni-knai Yes, but they are encrypted to your Windows login and thus unusable on another device.

@sgunhouse My Windows login information is same as the old laptop. Is it still impossible to recover them?

@kanni-knai Not name, but your actual login. It may be possible, but it would require some special software.
I mean, really it's the same thing Chrome/Chromium does, if you can recover Chrome's passwords then you can recover Opera's. But it isn't a matter of just dropping the old file on the hew system.
