I want to save opera passwords

edi7on

I have just started using opera and it has a build in password manager(wand)
and I am wondering if there is a way to save them passwords, so you dont have to type them again if had to reinstall opera.
(or export them like bookmarks)

Is this possible?

Thanks

Yep, firstly find where your Opera profile is stored.

Open up Opera, open a new tab and put in "opera:about", press enter. Alternatively, open a new tab, and along the top go to "Help > About Opera".

Note down the path where your "Opera directory" is.

Open up My Computer, browse to the location. In the folder you should see a load of files. The important ones are:

opera6.adr (Your bookmarks)
wand (Your saved password)
cookies4 (Your cookies)
I can't remember what the others are.

The best thing to do is store you Opera profile seperately from Windows. That way if something goes wrong with Windows, your profile is safe. I store mine on a seperate hard drive. To do this you'll need to edit the opera6.ini file. I can help you on this if needs be.

If you don't have this option, then your best bet is just to backup the whole profile folder to a cd or usb drive every so often.

If ever you need to export/import anything, along the top go to "File > Import and export" see if what you need is there.
