[Solved]Opera is not saving data (or it's being removed)

Hello everyone,

Yesterday, I installed Opera on my MacBook Pro and signed in with my Opera account so that everything can be synchronized (I also use Opera on Windows 11). Unfortunately, I get logged out every time I close the browser, and I have to sign in again when I reopen it. It works fine on Windows 11, but I have no idea what to do on my MacBook Pro. Both my macOS and Opera are up to date.

I have already asked this question in the German-language forum, I hope there won't be any issues with a duplicate post.

I hope someone can offer some advice.

Thank you in advance, and best regards.

The issue is that Opera logs out from everytihng on quit.
Mini M1 - Ventura 13.2.1 - Opera 96.0.4693.80 (arm64)

• Clear cookies and site data when you quit Opera-> OFF
• I don't care about cookies -> Disabled

---

• Opera does remember account details on re-launch (could be due to MacOS), but are logged out from all and require passwords (haven’t messed around with keychain or what the right terminology within Opera is..).
• Have to reconfigure opera sync after re-login (doesn’t remember anything).

---

• Ethernet is currently routed through a PC as an ad-hoc to aid an bluetooth issue (apparently common), but had the logout issue prior (I also would assume MAC/IP doesn’t change while just quitting and reopening Opera)
• Opera GX installed too, but also on other systems without no issues.

@burnout426 said in 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.

Legend, Thanks for giving us this info!

@burnout426 Hi where can I find this Keychain access application?Opera doesn't ask for autofill :((. I also tried importing my passwords, but that did not work either. I really don't know what to do to get opera to safe my passwords. Thanks in advance!

@inkysanimation, @sophiehijink

See https://www.google.com/search?q=mac+where+is+the+keychain+access+app. It's a macOS app.
