@leocg Where is it possible in Opera to export passwords? that other option mentioned is from outside Opera, and appears to be some sort of joke programming. No GUI, only command line which is what we did back in 1980.

@johnbull44 - how does that work?? Why can an outside app do what Opera cannot do? This password exclusivity problem is becoming a deal breaker for me.

I'm sorry, I did find the files, hidden below the list of folders. Doh. My bad.
I see that passwords cannot be moved to another machine. Too bad.
This can be closed. Thanks for the help.

Opera:about shows Profile: C:\Users\xx xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable
followed by the following folders:
adblocker_data

blob_storage
certificaterevocation

Download service
extension rules
extension state

file system
gcm store

No cookies or any of the others is listed

@leocg Are you on windows?

I am looking at the correct path in appdata. Are you looking at the correct path, or are you speculating..

Thanks, but I have done that. None of the files listed in that link show up in my appdata.. Are you on windows? If you are then tell me where you found your links, passwords, etc. There are about 35 different folders under appdata, none of which are in that help list.

I want to backup Opera data like I used to in the old days. But the Opera Stable folder is 300 MB in size which seems tooo large. I only want the relevant stuff.
What folders need to be saved?

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.
