Saving passwords from Web sites using the Wand

Using the Wand, you can save usernames and passwords from websites.

When you enter a username and password into a webpage, the Wand will automatically ask you if you want to save it. The next time you want to log in to this page, press the Wand button in the Address bar or Ctrl+Enter in the password form to make the Wand fill in the username and password and log you in automatically.

Combined with Fast Forward, you will often see that the Forward button in the Address bar changes to a "Log in" button. This means that you can simply press the "Log in" button or use the keyboard shortcut or mouse gesture for Forward to log in using the Wand.

If you do not wish to use the Wand, you can disable it in Tools > Preferences > Wand (Mac: Opera > Preferences > Wand) by unchecking "Let the Wand remember passwords".
