I have been using Opera for many years and have found the password auto-fill feature very convenient. Recently, that feature no longer works, and when I look up the list of saved web sites and passwords, the file is empty.

I have checked the settings for this function and they seem normal. After some experimentation, I have found that if I log onto web sites and click on "Save" when the option is offered, the passwords will be saved and I can use them to auto-fill if I go back to the same site later in the same session.

In fact, I can even open the password file and see all of the passwords I have entered in that session. However, if I shut down the computer, when I restart the auto-fill function no longer works and the password file shows as empty.

I Think that this started around the time that MS pushed a recent update to Windows 10 to my computer, but I was not paying close enough attention to be certain of that.

I have seen several other messages about password problems, but none seem quite like my issue, so any suggestions for help would be much appreciated.
