Thank-you for all of these responses and for the promptness as well!! I found the messages I was looking for and now know how to to do both the export and import of passwords. I screen capped those posts for the next time I need to port Opera over and this one for the next time I need to search the forum. Should've done that last time.

Suggestion: put a search icon or box at the top of the page <g>.

Is there any way to search the forums for older posts?

A few years back I tried porting Opera to a new desktop by transferring over the profile. That brought everything but my saved passwords over.

I'm trying to get Opera up and running on a new desktop again and once more the passwords don't come over. I'd like to find the posts from my last attempt because it was resolved I just don't recall how. But if I can find those posts, I can re-learn. How do I search for them?

Not as urgent but a curiosity. Used to be there was 1 profile. Now there are 2, 1 under 'roaming', 1 under 'local'. I can see the contents are completely different but it makes me wonder, why 2 profiles?

@rif
I'm loaded with RAM (64 GB) and Opera has never consumed 5% of that so I don't really concern myself with it beyond that. But I did notice a 10% or so reduction in overall memory usage moving to workspaces from multiple instances. I'm curious to hear how you fare with that.

Where it saved me time and caused me to find religion over workspaces was starting up after rebooting. I generally have 30 or so tabs open spread somewhat evenly across the 2 workspaces. When I had to open up a 2nd instance prior to workspaces, for whatever reason, loading the 2nd instance took a lot of time. Like 2-3 minutes if I recall correctly. Now its all virtually instantaneous.

FML, I just looked at my original message and I guess there's nothing new in this one

I used to run 2 instances of Opera. I discovered early on rather than opening around 30 tabs in 1 instance, Opera behaved better if I opened up 2 instances with around 15 each. Not sure why, but now that I run 2 workspaces in 1 instance rather than 2 instances, there's a notable response time improvement/rendering time improvement for me (Win 10 Pro 64, 64GB of memory). There's also a 10-15% reduction in total memory that Opera consumes. Rebooting Opera just got a whole lot easier for me because both Workspaces load at once and I don't have to open a second instance and then open a folders worth of tabs into that. I still have some issues with whitelisting sites that I don't with Brave but if you're keeping track, here's a vote for keeping Workspaces in Opera. Well done, Opera developers!

@zalex108 DOH! That did indeed work. I actually came up with the a Rube Goldberg-ish solution when I discovered Firefox does carry over passwords in its profile. I was going to export my passwords to Firefox on my old machine, install both Opera & Firefox on the new one, bring the old Firefox profile over to the new one and then import settings, including passwords, into Opera. Your quick discovery that I misunderstood burnout426's instructions saved me from having to do that. So thank-you for setting me straight!!

@burnout426 P.S. Even if it didn't work for me, thank-you for providing this to me!!

@burnout426 A screen cap of the cmd window is below. The option still doesn't appear on the Experiments page.

Leocg>>If you're reading this, do you know where Opera stores saved passwords? Apparently not in the profile anywhere ("Opera Stable") because I tried cloning that from my old computer to my new one but the passwords didn't come over.

So is the bottom line it is no longer possible to import a .csv file containing passwords into a fresh install of Opera on a new computer?

re: https://forums.opera.com/topic/31531/solved-importing-password-csv-file-without-a-3rd-party-app/1?_=1578696177303 . When I tried this and went to the 'Experiments' page, there was no #PasswordImport option available. Is there any way to do this currently (version 66.0.3515.27) in the Windows desktop version of Opera? I couldn't screencap the entire Experiments page but here are my search results:
