Password Manager (Wand) update password

It would be really really nice if the password manager could update passwords if they detect the same username, but an other password.
Now i have to look for the saved password, remove it, login again to have it remembered by Opera.

Firefox has something like this if i remember correctly.

Should Opera have the ability to update passwords in the Password Manager (Wand)?

That's right - Opera updates passwords automatically without asking the user.

So.. if it should be normal.
Then i think i have to submit a bug report.

There's no convenient way to update a password in Opera. You have to delete the entry, and then login and save the password\username again.
Surely, this is a small feature that will make its way into one of the stable releases.

Same username, different password, login successfull = Automatically update password, and give an indication that a password update has been done.

Just tried it - does NOT autoupdate on successful login.

I have some sites that require me to change passwords quite frequently, and it is a bit of a drag to delete the entries from the password manager every time.

At one time the Wand toolbar would pop up and ask to update the password. This has failed for me on multiple computers for several Opera versions.
