This software works for Opera 12 and earlier (the Presto-based versions), and not for the newer Blink-based versions.
You can get the information from newer Opera versions by going to Settings -> Privacy & security -> Manage saved passwords.
Opera is a great browser, but one feature it’s been lacking for a very long time is the ability to view the passwords you’ve saved with the Opera password manager (“The wand”).
There are a few closed-source and Windows-only programs out there. An open-source multi-platform utility to read the wand seemed like a good idea :-)
operapass can be run from in a terminal or with a basic GUI. It should find the
wand.dat in your Opera profile directory, but you can also specify it as the
first parameter (eg.. operapass-tk path/to/wand.dat)
There are two utilities: operapass-dump to dump the password file to your
stdout (ie. terminal) and operapass-tk for a very basic Tkinter GUI.
It should run on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and OSX.
operapass can only read wand files without a master password. Note you can remove and (re-)add a master password at any time in the Opera preferences.
operapass will use the M2Crypto module when available, and fall back to pyDes (bundled) when it’s not, note that M2Crypto is much faster. M2Crypto isn’t available for Python 3 yet.
