Add option to edit Wand passwords.

I would find it useful to be able to edit Wand passwords. Let's say I checked off it working on one page only, but I need that changed to any page on that URL. I would have to delete the Wand password, then recreate it all over again.

This could also help when a username/password needs to be changed as well.

Hi,

I would be great if Opera could stores password as Firefox do.

I mean after you store them uin the Wand, be posible to see them again sometimes you need those passwords ans Opera doenst have the option to "see"then again.

Thanks

I think this is the only drawback that has Opera, compared to Firefox.

Opera does have the ability to let you "see" the wand password, but not by default - because of security purposes...

Here is how to "see" the wand password:

WARNING: Use 'em at your own risk, if someone else get accessd to your computer & Opera browser - they could also use these function to reveal your password if they found 'em!

No, that's incorrect. If not using a master password anybody with physical access to your computer can easily retrieve the passwords. In fact Opera is less secure by leading users to think their passwords are irretrievable while they aren't.

Obviously that risk always exists - whether or not you download and/or use these techniques yourself.
