How Opera Stores Passwords

Opera is built on the Chromium engine — the same open-source base used by Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi and Brave. As a result, Opera stores saved passwords in exactly the same format as Chrome: an SQLite database named Login Data, located inside the Opera browser's user profile folder.

Passwords in this file are encrypted using the Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI), which ties the encryption to the current Windows user account. SterJo Opera Passwords reads this file and uses the same Windows user context to decrypt and display the stored credentials.

The Opera profile folder is located at: %AppData%\Opera Software\Opera Stable

Migrating Opera Passwords to Another Browser

If you're switching from Opera to Chrome, Edge or Firefox, recovering your saved passwords first lets you transfer them to the new browser:

  1. Use SterJo Opera Passwords to export your credentials to CSV format.
  2. In Chrome, go to chrome://settings/passwords and use the import from CSV option.
  3. In Edge, go to edge://settings/passwords and import the CSV file.
  4. For Firefox, use a CSV-to-Firefox import extension or a password manager as an intermediate step.
