myshkin Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I have tried to get support for this on the opera website but because of the problem i have I cannot join the site. I have just recently downloaded opera 12 browser. The problem I am having is that when I go to any of my websites which require me to sign in with a user name Opera selects a the wrong choice and the only way i can input the user name i want to use is to delete the cookies for the page. As an example if i type u since usa was once used by Firefox in an address USA will come up as a choice and i cannot type anything else in. I have tried clearing all private data and done a Google search but can't find any solutions. This has stumped me. Any ideas anyone? Link to comment
SPX Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Sounds like an auto complete bug in Opera. I'd suggest exploring the preferences screen, and seeing if you can figure out where to disable autocomplete. Link to comment
artig Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I haven't upgraded to Opera 12 yet. But in Version 11, in Tools, Advanced, Password Manager.. you can delete the list of sites where Opera thinks it should be allowed to store passwords. Have you tried deleting those sites? I use another password manager, so Opera doesn't store passwords for any of the sites. But it still maintains a list of sites where I've logged in manually. Link to comment
myshkin Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Thanks, I'll give both of your suggestions a try. Link to comment
myshkin Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 I found the autofill in the preferences and all the info it is accessing is right there only for auto filling a form. Only problem is it is using this whenever I use a search bar or input a user name. I deleted everything in the autofill and will give it a try. Thanks Link to comment
Boffin Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Under the preferences dialogue (CTRL + F12), select the Search tab. There is a check-box to enable auto-suggestions on search entry - try unchecking that box. Andy Link to comment
myshkin Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Ok, now I think I understand how they are trying to manage the auto fill feature. It looks as if you can edit the pages individually with this feature, if so very slick. So far I am really liking opera but it is very different from FF or IE. And much faster too. Thanks for the help. Link to comment
Fightingpiper Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Opera has been my default browser for years. It was the first browser with mouse gestures which I still use everyday. Heck I remember when I used to have to PAY for the Opera Browser..... Link to comment
