Opera user password recovery

It's pretty simple, most every damn website and or application that's out there which requires a username and password have a password recovery function should you forget your password. This is as far as i know, something Opera still lacks.

What i want is that you have button when you log into Opera link or the like which saying "lost password?" and by clicking it you can have your password sent to your email.

I think this is a very simple thing which however is pretty important smile

Just go to link.opera.com and, if you are not connected, you will see a "forget password?" link bellow the password field.

If you're logged in and don't want to log out. Go to the "Plus" icon in Opera for a new tab, but right click on it, now select "New Private Tab", now go do what the previous user suggest in the private tab and you won't be logged in and it will let you try to recover your password. But in the regular tabs you will remain logged in.
