Store Basic Auth passwords

Plus: OS-level policies may be ruled out that way
Not if they're set by domain... check the policy page.
I think I have the same behaviour on 4 different computers. Weird.
That would indeed indicate policies set by domain.

It's two computers in a domain and two private computers (laptop and desktop) without domain, so I think that can be ruled out. I really don't know. I think I need to use the fresh install of Vivaldi, make the same settings sequentially while checking when saving Basic Auth credentials stops. Weird that I seem to be the only one with this problem.

@fenjen I hope you can get some steps tp reproduce it for us, perhaps that can be reported to Vivaldi to check if it is a Vivaldi or Chromium or Windows issue.

Did you check
vivaldi://policy? -
@Pathduck Yes. Everything empty (No policies set) and "Current precedence order: Platform machine > Cloud machine > Platform user > Cloud user"

I had same issue - Vivaldi just not asks to store basic auth passwords, therefore I have to provide username/password manually everytime. This was from the very beginning I started to use Vivaldi (~1 year ago), so initially I was thinking there is some non-critical Vivaldi glitch and just lived with it (it's not that much popular authentication type nowadays anyway). However reading this thread I understand that Vivaldi actually supports it, so tried to figure out what could be the reason.
I checked all the policies, settings, etc mentioned in this thread - and there was nothing relevant that could fix it. I also tried it with Chrome on the same machine - and Chrome is asking to store password, so it's not OS or domain/group settings.
Then I found out that it's related to third-party password managers (like 1Password, and perhaps others). When third-party password manager is enabled, Vivaldi redirects password handling to it and doesn't ask to save passwords. 1Password extension (and probably other similar extensions as well) itself cannot handle basic auth passwords, therefore password is not saved. Workaround for me which worked was to temporarily disable 1Password, go to basic auth site, then Vivaldi asks to store the password. You can store it and after it you can re-enable 1Password back. Next time you go to basic auth site, Vivaldi will fill the fields.

I tried on new profile and it definitely does not save basic passwords.

@zukoff It saves and fills Basic Access Auth user name and password.
Just tested at https://authenticationtest.com/HTTPAuth/ with user and pass.Had you denied to store passwords?
Check Settings → Privacy → Passwords → Declined sites.Is the site you visit connect by domain name with a https:// URL?
