@mgeffro It works again. After the update to MacOS 10.13.5, opera restarted asking for access to the keychain, which it had refused before. And after that it recalled passwords, including ones which were saved during the time opera was unable to retrieve them. It seems it did have write access to the keychain.
@cosminplays I am not blaming Opera: this happened most likely because of a mistake I made. But I need to finish a task first so will wait a few days before attempting the fix.
@mgeffro I did step 1-4. It recalls usernames but not passwords. Fewer error messages though:
/Applications/Opera.app/Contents/MacOS/Opera --user-data-dir=/tmp/opera_clean_profile
[3634:775:0605/113802.007762:ERROR:partner_content_service.cc(1251)] Not an update at all.
/Applications/Opera.app/Contents/MacOS/Opera --user-data-dir=/tmp/opera_clean_profile
[3703:36355:0605/114408.284114:ERROR:gcm_store_impl.cc(924)] Failed to restore security token.
Does this point at the user profile? Introduced by the recent upgrade? I was wondering why it isn't asking about keychain access. Opera must think it has access but the mac disagrees.
@mgeffro Done this and indeed get errors. I have the following messages
/Applications/Opera.app/Contents/MacOS/Opera
[2153:84739:0605/073532.640010:ERROR:in_progress_cache_impl.cc(93)] Could not read download entries from file because there was a read failure.

[2153:775:0605/073532.868140:ERROR:in_progress_cache_impl.cc(189)] Cache is not initialized, cannot RetrieveEntry.
followed by heaps of identical messages. Is this useful? It doesn;t tell me which is the file which can't be read.
@mgeffro I have done this but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Quiting opera, either with the menu option or with cmd+q, and restarting does not bring up the keychain question. I went into the keychain manually as you suggested. Opera will still not remember passwords. Log in somewhere and it happily asks 'Do you want to safe...' and there is no error message, but it won't recall. Although when quiting Opera and restarting, it is still logged in to the various websites so something is being remembered. I am running 10.13.4, by the way.
Same problem here. I skipped the keychain as I couldn't figure out what is was asking and opera is now very much less usable. Closed down opera and restarted to get the question back but that did not work. How do I go back to the all-important question about keychain access? Uninstall, perhaps?
