[gentoo-user] www-client/opera not asking for master password

[Raffaele Belardi]

I recently started using Opera browser. According to the manuals it should be possible to
store web site passwords locally protected by a 'master' password (I don't want to create
an opera account). On my ~amd64 installation there is an entry in the Settings menu
showing the stored passwords but Opera never asks me to set up a password to protect them.
Is this a common issue or am I missing something in my installation?

thanks,

raffaele

Hi.

As far as I remember Opera for Linux will integrate with your system
keyring if it's present.

Last time I used it I was asked for system keyring password eventually
when I started to set up some settings or tried to save some password.

Do you have gnome-keyring or something alike installed?

Although I never used it gnome-keyring is probably installed, it's a default gnome
installation. Thanks for the hint, I'll check that.
