Auto fill username & password in Opera? [solved]
Q. I use Opera as my new web browser. But when I tell Opera to save my username and password for a site it does not seem to do. Like now when I go to the site it does NOT autofill the stored info. It does not even prompt me to save anymore login info for that site anymore. Can you help?!
A. Yes! In all likelihood Opera did save your login info, however, to autofill that info you need to press: CTRL+ENTER (the Ctrl key and the Enter key on your keyboard at the same time). When you do that Opera should autofill the info AND submit it which will log you in.
Followup: huzzah, that worked! Thx dude!

Can I make it just fill in the details and not log me in? For the sites which have a security code this feature seems useless, unless there is something I;’m not getting.
Sorry but no suggestions work in opera. The site opens in safari and google but not opera. neither does Control+Enter. I ise opera to open a CCTV camera site every day so is quite annoying. the site and PW are ther in my settings. Any other ideas?
Hey Si, if Ctrl+Enter isn’t working for that specific CCTV site in Opera, it may be that the site uses a non-standard login form that Opera’s password manager doesn’t auto-trigger on. A couple of things to try: go to opera://settings/passwords and confirm the site’s credentials are saved there, then visit the site, right-click the username field and see if “Autofill” options appear. If the site opens fine in Safari and Chrome but Opera is blocking it, check if there’s an extension conflict or if Opera’s ad blocker is interfering with the form. You might also try turning off Opera’s VPN if it’s enabled.
