Ani-body know whats problem with it ? Everything worked yesterday. and before that for many years there were no such problems. But today, Most of the passwords have been dropped and a random incorrect entry is shown. I can't go anywhere. when viewing passwords through the settings, I found that there are many incorrect entries with the same incorrect passwords for different accounts.

@autopik It seems that the saved passwords database got messed up. I remember have seen some topics about a similar problem.

Different accounts on the same domain? For example, if you have 5 different Gmail accounts and they all synced to the same password when you logged into one and clicked "update", you might be experiencing this issue that seems to be caused by Opera Sync and syncing of passwords.

To fixed a broken password file, goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" folder, close Opera, and delete the "Login Auto" file in the profile folder. You'll of course lose all username/password data, but that will cause Opera to create a fresh file that isn't corrupted.

To prevent corruption again though, you might have to avoid syncing of passwords for now or avoid using the "update" dialog when logging in. For example, at the URL opera://settings/passwords, for any domain/site where you have multiple accounts, use the "add" button there to manually add all the username and password entries. Never use the "save" button for that domain/site. And, whenever you log in when a different account on that domain/site, never choose "update".
