@Martens263 Maybe the Login Data file got corrupted with the crash.

@leocg Is there a chance to restore it?

@Martens263 You can try opening it in a database editor and see if you can export the data

@Martens263 In the profile directory, all your Opera related data is there.

It's valid for any Chromium based browser.

Check opera://about for the path to it.

@leocg I've found it two minutes ago and opened it with the windows editor. I can see the usernames now, but not the passwords (they are encrypted?)

@Martens263 Yep, that will be a problem.

What happens if you try to export passwords in Opera?

@leocg Strange, there are two files with the name "login data":

• one file is in "C:\Users\Username\Downloads\profile"
• the other one is "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable"

How can I export passwords in the Opera settings? I think there is no such option because the settings say that there are no passwords.

@leocg Finally I was able to get my data with a script (hack-browser-data). But thanks for your advice!
