The issue isn't with Apple Silicon at all.
It happens on my Mid 2017 MacBook Pro 15" which is obviously Intel based Mac.
The OS is Mac OS 13.2.1 -

I was an Opera user back in the early days. I wanted to give it another try. I downloaded the setup app on my M1 Mac, so this is a fresh install. I enabled ad blocking, trackers blocking, etc. "Save passwords" is enabled. I log into my Gmail and Youtube accounts. However, every time I exit Opera, my logins weren't saved: I had to re-enter my credentials on Google and Youtube. I was also never asked to save any passwords, and none were saved for Gmail or YT.
I thought this might be an M1 issue, so I did a clean install on my Intel MacBook. I did not change any default settings. I logged into Gmail and Youtube, but on restarting Opera the same thing happened.
This is very disappointing to see just as I'm trying out Opera again.

is there any official update from Opera? I cannot believe this is not fixed by now or any announcement from Opera

@jcmlny Apparently the devs know about this, I came across this bug 1 month ago, have switched to another browser since then. Response time is shocking...

@opera-user12 Big Sur 11.7.4 also has this issue. Confirmed on 3 different computers with Big Sur. 11.7.1 & 11.7.3.
Looking for reason this might be happening but I'm thinking it's to do with permissions not allowing data to be stored or edited. Reports mirror those with macs trying to import csv passwords without success.
So far have tried enable full disk access for Opera and changing sharing & perms on both com.operasoftware.OperaGX folders, cache and App Support, to chmod 777 everyone. No dice.
I'll see if a VM with pre-monterey works.

I'm also experiencing this issue, I've already turned off the adblocker and allowed cookies on several sites, but it doesn't help. It's a shame because the feature that has the messenger options in the sidebar is really useful, but not so much if you constantly have to re-login to everything.
Hope this gets fixed soon.

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.

On my Mac, Opera is now remembering cookie selections and syncing everything without issue.
Thank you for resolving this. I have missed using Opera.

I got two more keys in there, just with some hash after the "Opera Safe Storage"
Should I delete them too? What did you guys do? -

@gargamelcz delete them both. After you re-enter your login\pass to opera sync manager, browser will create new key there, so there is no problem in deleting both of entries.
