@burnout426 said in [Solved]Opera is not saving data (or it's being removed):

Test this solution. Remove the Opera Safe Store password from Keychain Access login item.

Steps:

Open Keychain Access application

Choose 'login' keychain on left

Choose 'Password' group

Find 'Opera Safe Storage' entry, right click it and choose Delete.

Success! Unreal!
This has been open on so many threads for sooooooo damn long and finally something works. My keychain had like 3 instances of the Opera Safe Storage on there recreated from each install. Unreal. Thanks man this is incredible.

I just wanted to ask if someone has a solution for the problem being, every time I close opera it just resets everything, including passwords and the login to opera. I have tried multiple times to activate password sync and it just keeps crashing the website, and ive tried pretty much everything I can imagine but i dont know what to do. I am on Opera for IMac btw.

Thank you so, so much. I've been at it (and it took reading down the page this far to get to the solution) for a while now. So much relief! Thank you. This works 100% on MacOS Ventura 13.3.1 (22E261). [Deleting the Opera Safe Store in Keychain Access]. You saved my life (I don't like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Vivaldi, Bing, etc.).
Again, Thank You!!!

Ok, so i use opera Gx both at work (Mac) and at home (Windows) and everytime i come to the office everything is logged out, and even some settings get reseted, but that doesn´t happen with my personal pc, so i believe it´s specifically a problem with Mac. Either way they really ought to fix this, because is really time consuming to have to enter all my accounts manually.

@andreabug It sure is time consuming, far too much wasted time. Even knowing the above fix is not a great solution, since it requires us having to delete these files over & over again, as they keep popping up in Activity Monitor, which also means we have to once again, enter all our passwords, manually. I wonder why Opera doesn't just fix this already....

@andreabug there is no way to sync betwin mac and pc. If you try it it just erase all saved info. I didnt find any way

@leocg This is only a temporary fix! Soon as I close and re-open Opera, all passwords are once again lost, and the "safe storage" app returns. Will Opera ever address & fix this infuriating bug?

@stevenjcee The idea of the workaround is to delete the "Opera Safe Storage" chain since Opera is having a problem reading it (due to some cert issue). Then, when you start Opera, it should create a fresh one that Opera can read where you should then be good to go and not have to do it again. The workaround is typically a one and done thing.

However, for some users, they have to do the workaround multiple times before it takes. I think the highest amount of tries I've seen a user have to do it is 17 maybe.

As to why there isn't a solution for this yet, not sure.

@burnout426 I get that, unfortunately, so far, it's been anything but a "one & done thing", and I'm getting really tired of having to constantly log in to every site manually. Hopefully, Opera fixes this pretty soon, or I'll have to use other browsers. Or maybe one of these deletions will hold, and won't keep re-appearing....

Re: Gmail logs out every time I reopens browser

Yes, not just Gmail for me, but all my accounts, even my sync account! I've tried disabling the "clear cookies upon exit" setting, but it still logs me out! Can you please help?

I use Opera for many years as my main browser, recently formatted the macbook and after formatting, when I close the browser or restart the computer it exits all accounts on all sites, the bookmarks continue but he disconnects, even the synchronization of opera and is showing that there was an error in synchronization but does not say what it is.

I have tried several things, enabled the encryption, enabled all cookies, checked that the exclusion of cookies are disabled when closing, reinstalled the browser several times, not even Opera GX solved, gives the same error.

Has anyone managed to solve this?

@leocg Not sure how this can be considered a "solution", as that "safe storage" file pops up every time I re-open Opera, meaning I still have to manually enter every password over & over again. I sure hope they can fix this bug, the sooner the better. And it's happening on two different devices with different Mac operating systems.

@burnout426 Thank you very much! This solution has so far worked for me. I did exactly as you said in your post, and Command + Q'd opera, opened it back up, and my opera account and everything was still there. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
