The same question about crypto wallets from the browser: did the memory contain/expose just the security content of unlocked wallets or all of them? Could it expose my password to the browser extension or secret data of the crypto accounts directly? (like seed phrase, perhaps) ]]>
You can export the passwords as a .csv file and then import them.
Export as .csv then open the "flow" it's a private chat just with yourself.
Drop the file there, open it from your new device and load the passwords.
Then DELETE the csv in the flow chat and from both devices.
And you talk about the "tabs" 😉 the open pages, you can open them at the right bottom.

]]>Opera GX desktop has a password suggestion security feature which give you a random string of characters and symbols when you're registering a password for a website and then saves and encrypts that password within the browser. This is a great feature for password security because you can avoid using the same password for everything without having to manage a massive spreadsheet of passwords.
However, having no option to view your passwords on mobile render's 90% of this feature's benefits redundant, or worse detrimental. Without a Password Sync feature, you either need to
A.) manage a spreadsheet you can access on the go if you want to be able to sign into any accounts that use a suggested password when you're not at your main desktop
B.) download and install Opera GX(if you happen to be at another desktop,) sign in and sync ALL your passwords, sign in and use whichever account you need, and then sign out and uninstall the browser
C.) reset the password to the account you want to use, and either leave it memorable(less secure) or reset it again when you're back to your main desktop(just why?)
There are requests for this feature dating back years, and it's pretty much essential if you're going to reasonably utilize the password suggestions feature and expect to log into anything anywhere but home with any browser but Opera GX without downloading Opera GX on a desktop, logging in, and syncing your ALL your passwords.
Use cases:
Signing into a streaming service on someone else's TV
Signing into ANYTHING on someone else's desktop running Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.
Signing into ANYTHING on Opera GX for iOS
Responding on THIS forum anywhere but your own desktop
Thanks for that, I will need to try it out more thoroughly.
]]>Thanks, I went back to opera version: 95.0.4635.90 and the 'export' function is under the ... 3 dots next to 'add' in the password section of settings. From there it will create a .CSV file which you can import to another browser.
]]>What can / should I do? ]]>
It asks me if I want to remember the password, then the next hour it already forgot ]]>
I've spent a while trying to recover my Opera GX passwords. I know where the file is but I have no way of importing it or decrypting it.
Here are the solutions I've tried and why it didn't work for me:
Enabling Opera GX's "Import passwords" feature - This did not work because Opera GX can only accept .csv files, and the password file that's saved on my computer (at least for me) is simply a file with no extension.
Using a program like Windows Password Recovery Tools - I was going to try this, but as soon as I unzipped the folder, my antivirus detected multiple viruses on my computer. It could've been a false positive, but I didn't want to risk my computer getting infected.
If anyone has a solution, please tell me.
Thanks.
