This is sooo bad on so many levels.
Can't create a new topic.
Can't get saved password to auto-fill.

I'm going back to Chrome.

New year. same issue - suddenly saved passwords are not auto-filled.

@burnout426 thanks. that's a workaround, but better than the constant type-to-search approach.

@leocg said in General Opera GX Feedback Topic V2:

@vvilku I'm not confirming anything.

And it has nothing to do with mediocrity, it's part of the nature of coding, that's how things work.

Again: normalising.

Developing a software means creating bugs.

And testing and QA means finding them before releasing to the public.

Just like in journalism: an article should go through and editor and be reviewed. Otherwise we get brainfarts that try to resemble journalism. And we silently normalise this as well.

@leocg that's exactly what I mean by normalising mediocrity. Thank you for confirming

@leocg That's absolutely incorrect. It's a matter of due diligence and proper testing and QA.
We are getting used to the mediocrity of software delivered and the excuse is alwasy "it's impossible to do it better".
That's no excuse. You wouldn't accept an incomplete or incorrect service, like if you got a wrong hair cut - would you accept an explanation: "I ddin't work this time, it's too complicated, maybe it will work next time you visit"?

@leocg I think you need to tell that to the browser then, because it doesn't seem to know that...

Probably because I have no credentials on my home PC, as I'm the only user anyway.

@leocg Why is that a common practice in IT? That's quite disrespectful. Imagine applying the same standards in autmotive or construction... Like "the car runs and drives, but we haven't installed the windshield... QA = OK, release to production, we'll add a windshield in the next model"...

@leocg said in Importing passwords doesn't work + Opera account acts weird:

@vvilku You don't need to have an Opera account to be able to import saved passwords from Chrome

How do you get by the password encryption requirement then? Can't import them if you don't set up encryption, can't encrypt them if you don't have an account.
P.S. Just realised I posted in the wrong forum, that should be in Opera GX, can you please move the topic to the correct forum?

@burnout426 - That worked, thanks, but that's a clumsy workaround.

Chrome import doesn't import passwords.
The password manager accessible only via search and typing 'password'
Sync issue warning not clickable

Did anyone even test this browser before releasing it? 10 minutes into it (decided to give it a try after an ad by a nice youtuber, whose content didn't install even though I used his referral link - another bug) and I already have found 4 different issues.

Do you guys even have a testing team?!

Where is the bloody button for the password manager? Is settings > search > typing "password" the only way to find it???
God... first 10 minutes of using Opera GX and I'm already ready to quit.

Searched the forum, but seems to be my problem is not mentioned yet.
I installed Opera GX and decided to import passwords from Chrome. None were imported.
I thought that maybe the issue is that I don't have an opera account, so I created one and tried to import passwords from Chrome again, however, I can't, because I have to change the password to my Opera account. The problem is, I created the Opera account with my gmail account so I don't have an opera ccount passowrd because my authentication is handled by google.

Does this mean I will not be able to have my passwords in Opera? If that's the case, then the browser is useless and that's a major flaw in the app design.
