      After migrating my whole Data from an MB Air to a MB Pro, Opera doesn´t remind Passwords anymore.
      Some are saved, but only a few.
      Some seemed to get lost, after the were saved- very strange!
      No Passwords will be shown.
      No Passwords can be imported successfully.
      What can help?

        @holger090909 How did you migrate it? For it to work you would need to have used Sync. Or tried to export and import the passwords.

          For Migration i used the functionality of iOS
          and i also used the import with csv file.
          And: when I login to a page, e.g. my wireless router sw, opera simply no longer offers the "save" option

            @holger090909 It won't work. Saved passwords are encrypted using your OS login credentials and will not work in a different computer or even with a different user.

            You need to use Opera Sync to get your saved passwords in a different installation.

              @holger090909 Passwords import should have worked.

                @leocg but it didn´t.
                Explain this:
                I login into my wlan router sw once, close the sw.
                so far so good.

                try to log in again an automatic password login won´t be offered an i have to type the password manually.

                But when i try to login again with wrong password, the update option to save the new password (which is a wrong one) is offered.

                opera can not handle known passwords correct. Why?

                  P.S.
                  the import didn't work.

                  I just deleted the history. Auto login is offered on one side, not on another.

                    @holger090909 If the page doesn't allow use of autofill, Opera will not ask to save the password.

                    Also I guess that the page needs to be secure but I'm not sure about that.

                      @holger090909 So the login info is on the passwords manager but when you click on the login/username field there isn't anything to be chosen?

                        Goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera, delete the "Login Data" file in the profile folder, start Opera and import your password csv file again.

                          thank you,
                          but i can´t follow the path to its end in the iOS "finder".
                          The directory structure isn´t the same as the path shown by " about Opera" and i also cant find the file by following my different directory structure.
                          I can find the file by copying the profile path to the browser, but cant erase the file here.

                            @holger090909 Opera's profile path (where the Login Data file is at) should be at /Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera in Finder on MacOS. You can see https://www.macworld.com/article/671158/how-to-show-hidden-files-on-a-mac.html for how to show hidden files and folders etc.
