Recover Opera wand passwords using OperaPassView

Opera provides you an option of saving the passwords to Password Manager, so that you don’t have to type that again. After some time, you may forget the password. Unfortunately, Opera has no option to show saved passwords.

If Opera Password Manager fills password form field, you can view password using bookmarklet but Password Manager won't fill user name and/or password when

  • URL of login page changes.
  • User name and/or password form field name changes.
In such times you should use third party tool to recover the forgotten passwords.

OperaPassView is a small password recovery tool that decrypts the content of the Opera Web browser password file, wand.dat and displays the list of all Web site passwords stored in this file. You can easily select one or more passwords in the OperaPassView window, and then copy the passwords list to the clipboard or save it into text/html/csv/xml file.

If wand is protected by master password OperaPassView won't show passwords. Disable Tools > Advanced > Security > Use master password to protect saved passwords to view passwords.
