Can't see saved passwords
-
Vivaldi is acting weird. It prompts to fill password fields, but when I go to vivaldi://settings/passwords I can't see any saved password.
Passwords are the most sensitive data there is. Once the browser saves them but is unable to list them... shouldn't that be fixed immediately?
-
@Gwen-Dragon Yes, I changed the Linux user keyring. Is that the problem? How can I fix it (without entering the old keyring password)?
-
@Gwen-Dragon Can't remember actually. What do you mean with "done to keyring"? I disable keyring from Linux settings whenever it pops up.
-
@Gwen-Dragon I disable the keyring since first installation of the Linux distro, but it pops up after software updates from time to time. Can't remember if I had saved passwords before.
Nevertheless, right now keyring is disabled and Vivaldi prompts to fill password fields but doesn't show any saved passwords under settings. Is that normal? Or shouldn't I be able to see the passwords Vivaldi is prompting (and filling correctly)?
-
@Gwen-Dragon Nope, "Saved passwords" and "Check passwords" are both empty.
-
@Gwen-Dragon I just did, but that doesn't exactly solve my problem. I'm no security expert, so, do you know where exactly Vivaldi stores entered passwords? Internally or in the keyring?
-
@Gwen-Dragon Ok, as long as it's no bug I can live with it. Next time I disable auto-login. Thanks for responding quickly.
-
@Gwen-Dragon Just tried "vivaldi --password-store=basic", still the same. No passwords listed in settings, but auto-complete still working on password forms.
-
@Gwen-Dragon Ups, sorry, no auto-complete during the session via command line, so auto-complete not working when opened with "password-store=basic".
-
@Gwen-Dragon Then my keyring is maybe not broken, because I still get auto-complete + key-icon in the address bar. Clicking on "manager passwords" takes me to "vivaldi://settings/passwords".
-
@Gwen-Dragon Nah I'm fine. I was worried when the password list was empty but auto-complete still working. Entering the system password 4x after every login is no option either. Will keep Keepass in mind. Thanks.

I got the same problem on several machines.
I tried to "sudo apt-get remove --purge vivaldi-browser"
And reinstall.That did not fix the problem.
I found that:
sudo apt-get remove --purge vivaldi-browser
rm -rf .config/vivaldiI also deleted the stores in keyring.
Then reinstall and resync fixed the problem.

Hello,
I have about 14 auto-complete saved passwords deep within Vivaldi, somewhere. The auto complete pulls the password, from somewhere, and offers to auto fill the correct login and pw as it should. PW is masked with no option to unmask it.The vivaldi://settings/passwords will not display those passwords, and the export option is dimmed and does not work.
I know the passwords are within Vivaldi, otherwise the auto complete would not offer to complete various logins. It succeeds with injecting the correct username and masked pw when I want it to.
Most of those passwords belong to LAN side URLs for which there is no "forgot the password" to fall back on. So I need to see the Vivaldi password list.
My version info is:
Vivaldi 5.7.2921.60 (Stable channel) (arm64)
Revision b442729c9d1d213fb300493d3f89eba4987bd132
OS macOS Version 12.6.3 (Build 21G419)
JavaScript V8 11.0.226.16Any advice will be most highly appreciated.
Thanks. -
@mongoose71 said in Can't see saved passwords:
vivaldi://settings/passwords
Do you see all passwords with
chrome://settings/passwords -
I have the same problem. Nothing seems to display passwords. vivaldi://settings/passwords opens the settings page at the General tab, nothing to do with passwords. chrome://settings/passwords opens a whole new settings tab apparently unrelated to the Vivaldi one. In that there was only one password stored, the one for Vivaldi. net. No others, even though, as has been the experience for a lot of posters, passwords are automatically entered.
I noticed however that the option (in the chrome settings) to save passwords was set to "off". I set it on, and went to a site I use regularly and tried to login. No password was inserted so I typed it in manually. After that the password was displayed in the chrome settings, and I could see it.
I tried a few other sites, however I was logged in automatically, and those sites have not appeared in the chrome list, so I guess they are still referencing Vivaldi's secret password list that it won't let anybody see. I guess I'll have to change the password in each of those sites to make sure they are registered in the chrome password manager as well.
Could be worse.
