I simply can't get it why Opera didn't implement this function in the browser. To be honest, this is the only deficiency, which prevents me to convert to Opera from Firefox.
I would like to have a built-in function which makes it possible to view my stored passwords, anytime I want.

I'm sure this is great. It will help everynow and then.

But this is the only reason why I hate opera, every browser I've used can show the encrypted remembered passwords in the 'remembered passwords' window.

Also, I have a site which just recently changed the login page, and now I can't use this tool to get the password which I've forgot.

Help?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is useless if the login page has changed, and there's no field to fill in that corresponds to a saved entry in the wand.

There seems to be no current Opera-side solution to this, so I have to revert to being reminded of my password by the server. I think it's time to ditch Opera, I'm sad to say.

More funny is that a Firefox (where nothing is implemented by default) user is complaining something is not implemented in Opera... :smile:
