<![CDATA[Can I set a passcode or pin code for my browser?]]>I need to set a password for my browser every time open startup. Since my computer is public, it is possible that someone else will be able to open it and read my emails or view my saved passwords. I don't want to re-login everything for later use, it's too annoying. I just need to lock my browser for later use, it's like a "Passcode Lock" feature of Telegram Web Z version.

Hope you all understand what I mean, sorry my English is not good 🙂

It seems they are not end users so they cannot understand what users need.

Just like when you open a banking app from your phone, you also need to authenticate again even though you had to authenticate before to unlock your phone.

I needed this feature too last year, my browser computer turn public ( friends and surfcouching guests can also use the low-watt consumption webrowser computer but my working computer is locked - my work need a powerfull processor and a lot of ram, and it's off-grid near alltime to keep it safe from virus without an antivirus ).

I am using some portable applications only to keep clean windows register on the low consumption one.

So because it's impossible to put a password on Opera, I've switched to firefox portable because it got this feature.

On this portable firefox without the password it's impossible to get the stored password of facebook, insta & ect, but you can still use the web browser.

I am on this post after a search on duckduckgo " how to put a password on opera".

If some opera DEV program it ( I don't know if chromium base web explorer can abble this) post here, I'll get an email alert and switch back to opera.

Anyway best regards to the DEV to their nice work, I still love Opera !

I hope that feature will be added in the future. That's why I prefer to use Opera browser over other browsers.

If you can't create an user and that computer can be accessed by other people, than you should not have any personal stuff on it.
