Hi all,
Due to a PC upgrade I had to move to a fresh OS install, new HDD, new OS (x64). So I still have my old HDD untouched.
How can I move my opera settings, especially passwords?
I need solutions. Ben reading the explanations about OS encrypted zone... it is not helping me.
So, how can I move my bookmarks and my passwords to new opera. I am using on both PC the same opera version 27.0.
Thank you all for your time. -

You can copy your profile folder over to your new install (standard profile path is C:\Users\You\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software). You'll get everything except your passwords cause those are encrypted and unfortunately bound to your (old) user account.

The passwords are locked to the OS install. I recommend you use a password storage problem like Keepass. It allows you to export your passwords as a file so you can back them up to transfer them easily. This doesn't help you now but it will in the future if you use it. Love and learn.

Is there a way to recover my data/passwords from "Login Data" the same way I use to do with wand?
I wonder why did they encrypt it by OS... much easier was to provide a master pass so I can migrate my info.
I was about to start working on both machine, my PC and Laptop... how can I do that if I can not copy my data.
Weird.
