I thuink I know what happened to cause windows logon each time I view a password. Note: I never had to enter a password in the past because I never had a windows logon!

I recently created a Skype account which somehow required me to create a windows logon acct. After that, the entire browsing of passwords in Opera changed, for the worse. This must have caused it. They also made me put money into an acct, which I now cannot get back. Bastards.

OPera V47
Why am I now required to show my computer password in order to see Opera passwords? Did I change a setting in my pc someplace that triggered this?
I had been on V49 when this started showing up, but then did a system restore which brought me back to V47 but it is still happening.

Opera v49, I cannot view my passwords inside the password manager. It appears some kind of security upgrade happened whereby all of my passwords have been restricted such that I cannot view them. When I click "show" a popup request that I provide my microsoft password. I DO NOT HAVE A PASSWORD and it refuses to accept blank.
Also, my user name is no longer visible on certain, financial, web sites. For example, anything regarding to banking is now blank for user name.
This just started happening in the past week.
It appears to be a feature, not a bug!!!!!!!!!

Ok-you caught me. It contains st. Damnit, I was sure I had it set to s, but I probably didn't see the Save button on the bottom before I exited. My Bad!
And thanks.

Ok, thanks. I did that and it opened the dialog to create it with prefix st. I had a previous entry with prefix s for startpage, so I deleted that one and then changed the new entry to use s as the prefix, then closed the dialog.

I did a sample search for "s geeks" and it brought up google.
So I did a "st geeks" and it brought up startpage, even tho I had set the startpage prefix to s, not st.

I think I'm confused now.

What would be the format to add Startpage.com to the search list?
I tried adding https://www.startpage.com/%s with initial "s" but when I invoke search as "s something" it reverts to google.

Ok-I missed that. My brain said "the VPN icon is oneach tab. So I set it on one tab and never noticed all other tabs had it set. Scoose um Moir.

Explain please. Each tab has its own VPN setting to on/off. Logically, it would seem the VPN is only for the tab it is set on. What surprise do you have for me?

Hotmail message occurred after setting a different tab to VPN. Not sure why Hotmail would be connecting home with a different IP address than what I logged in on.

Sorry but after 10 minutes of trying and failing, I cannot create a new bookmark directory in bookmarks. THIS SHOULD BE SIMPLE!
Please make it simple like the old Opera
