The Opera Browser has repeatedly proved why it is better than its contemporaries. With time and the advancement of technology, Opera has also improved itself and provided the necessary updates and features that every user might need while browsing the web.
Opera also constantly brings new updates that make it easier for users in the long run. It offers numerous useful features, but one worth mentioning is the ability to save and manage stored passwords.
When managing so many online accounts and social profiles, we often forget the username and passwords. Social media and other websites like Prime and Netflix have passwords to manage too. Nevertheless, Opera is here to help to remember all the passwords with the corresponding usernames.
I have more than two accounts on Instagram. One is my account, and the other is used professionally for my other interests. It becomes challenging to remember all the passwords at all times.
Hence, I started using the Passwords Manager in the Opera Browser to automatically log in to my Instagram accounts without fussing over remembering them all.
Save Passwords on Opera Browser
We’ll find it difficult to remember all our account passwords with so much to remember every day. However, this Opera feature ensures we never have to worry about it.
Here are the steps to help you save the password on the Opera Browser:
- Launch Opera Browser on the computer.
- Click on the Opera
menu. - Choose the Settings option from the menu list.
- Scroll down to Advanced Settings to access more options.
- Look for the Autofill section, and click on the Passwords tab.
It will open the Passwords tab. - Enable the toggle for Offer to save passwords.
Henceforth, every time you sign in to any online account in Opera, the browser will offer a pop-up to determine whether to remember the password. Hit the button to store the password. This bar will last only for a few seconds.
If you hit on Never[/cmbtn], the site will be added to the Never Saved section in Password Manager and won’t offer you to save the password.
You can also toggle on the auto sign-in feature that will automatically help you sign in to your account when you access them on the Opera browser.
This will autofill the username and password for the website when you access the Opera browser.
Manage Stored Passwords
All the passwords are stored locally on the opera browser, and we can efficiently manage and remove unnecessary passwords from the computer.
Here are the steps to manage the saved password on the Opera computer:
- Launch Opera Browser on the computer.
- Click on the Opera menu.
- Choose the Settings option from the menu list.
- Scroll down to Advanced Settings to access more options.
- Look for the Autofill section, and click on the Passwords tab.
It will open the Passwords tab with all the saved passwords. - Click on More
to manage the stored passwords.
You can choose from the available password options like Copy password, Edit password, and Remove the stored password in Opera.
Click on the Eye icon will help in viewing the stored password. You need to verify the system password to view the password.
That’s how you can save and manage your passwords and have a firm grip on them. It’ll save you a lot of time and misery to recall the passwords in the future.
Bottom Line: Manage Passwords Opera
The Opera Browser has always lived up to the expectations of its users. No wonder it has always been so highly recommended and rated by users worldwide.
One of the many features provided by Opera is the Password Manager feature for autofill. It stores all your passwords to different websites in a single place and helps you sort through them.
Moreover, you also have the option to add new passwords and edit or delete old ones. You can also enable or disable the automatic sign-in to websites and the saving of passwords. All this is available under the same Password Manager tab.
The Password Manager feature is very efficient and helpful as I manage many accounts simultaneously. As it stores all my passwords, I don’t have to worry about logging into the websites repeatedly.
How often do you use the Opera browser’s password manager feature for autofill? Did you save any passwords yet?
how do i get opera to list in alphabetical order – it takes me ages to find the site I am looking for as they seem to be in chronological order
Most of the time it works. Opera does not offer to save the password.
It will not save passwords and save passwords is turned on. No good.
I had Opera ,,have But all of a sudden it has 5 other apps show where did my passwords go ,,before when I opened it took me to sign in then my passwords I need that ,I’m 73 I can’t remember them all ,!!*
How do I import a password? Usually this feature works, but for one website, I closed the save password box, and I can’t get it to offer to save the password now. I tried clearing cookies, quitting and reopening Opera, turning off “offer to save passwords” and quitting and reopening Opera, and it still won’t offer to save the password for this site. It’s NOT listed in my “never save passwords” list. All I did was hit the X on the save password banner, and now I can’t get it to come back.
I’m not seeing an option to import a password, because this is one I really want Opera to save, and I’ve never had issues getting the banner to return after closing it before.
It would be nice to have an extra pincode besides the system pw to protect the passwordlist
Opera’s password saving feature is a pain in the ass for years! If you google on it you will notice this immediately. Most frustrating is that the answers were also the ‘standard ones’, it never goes deeper or you get the feeling Opera’s developpers are involved and willing to help.
On my computer websites open because the password was stored. But these passwords are not shown in the ‘password list’ as mentioned in this article. (just a few are visible). Only this computer runs Opera 90.0.4480.84 and there is no account involved.
Please developper, google for this issue and try to help people out. Do not ignore this issue.
