Issue with Logged-In Sessions Not Persisting on Opera Portable Across Computers

Hello everyone,
I'm currently encountering a puzzling situation with Opera Portable, and I'm seeking some insights from the community. Here's the scenario:
On PC1, I launch Opera Portable and log in to several websites. When I close and reopen Opera Portable on the same PC (PC1), everything works as expected, and my accounts remain logged in.
However, the issue arises when I transfer the Opera Portable files to PC2. Upon opening the portable browser on PC2, I notice that all my tabs and other data are retained, which is great. However, my login sessions for the websites I previously logged into on PC1 are no longer active on PC2. In other words, I'm logged out from all sites.
I'm curious if anyone knows why this might be happening and whether there's a way to prevent these unexpected logouts when moving Opera Portable between different computers. I value the convenience of carrying my browser settings and tabs with me, but this session inconsistency is causing a bit of inconvenience.
Any suggestions, explanations, or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance!
Thanks,
Biswajit -

@bisu7589 I guess it happens simply because of security and how Chromium and cookies work.
When you login to a page and a cookie is set for your session, it's usually associated with that system and with that browser. It's to avoid that someone could copy your cookies and user it to login in your accounts in a different computer.
Also, Chromium encrypts your saved passwords and cookies using the OS login credentials and them can't be used in other systems.

Hello, @leocg
I appreciate your response. I understand that these security measures are in place for our protection. However, I'm wondering if there's a way to work around this issue. The reason I ask is that it's not feasible for me to stay logged in while using different computers. Is there any solution you could suggest?
Thank you.
