I'm planning on wiping Windows XP and moving over to Windows 7—so, how do I actually save all those passwords Opera has been holding onto for me?

You can actually use this little utility to pull up and export all your saved passwords directly into a .txt file if you really need to -> http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/opera_p..._recovery.html

Also, I found this guide that walks you through exactly which files you need to grab so you can just drop them right back where they belong in a fresh installation -> http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/313/

Benjamin King2, I was wondering... can I use this tool to save my passwords in Opera when I log into sites?

Because for some reason, Opera just refuses to remember any of my passwords no matter what site I'm on.

The software is just meant for checking the passwords you've got saved in Wanda—as for why saving your credentials in Opera isn't working for you, honestly, I haven't the slightest clue.

There’s probably some setting buried in the menus somewhere—I know there's usually a prompt that asks if you want the browser to stop saving passwords after a certain point—but I have absolutely no clue how to actually find the reset button for it.

I somehow messed up my settings on Gmail and told it to only remember one single password, and now I’m stuck manually typing in the other two every single time... it just won't save them anymore. Just great.

Thanks, man 👍

Opera was saving my passwords all along, I just didn't realize I had to actually click that little "key" icon whenever I logged into a profile, you know? Total oversight on my part.

Anyway, it's all good now. Opera is officially my favorite browser, hands down. 😁
