Very nice script! My only problem with Wand is that often a password does not work and you cannot look at it or edit it. This at least allows you to see the password. Wnad is still pretty tough to use though, if - like me - you have several hundred logins in another formfiller app and cannot import them. This is the only thing keeping me from being a full-time Opera user!

Thanks again!

I was wandering how do I reverse a setting such as "never on this page" or server to start saving. There were some sites that I didn't want to save but now I do.

Thanks.

damiracle, here's a workaround:

go to the login page, use the wand, but press stop BEFORE you login. That means you should still be in the login page with all the ***.

Then pass all this text to the address bar (or save it as a bookmark if you plan to use it again):

javascript:(function(){var s,F,j,f,i; s = ""; F = document.forms; for(j=0; j (less than sign) F.length; ++j) { f = F[j]; for (i=0; i (less than sign) f.length; ++i) { if (f[i].type.toLowerCase() == "password") s += f[i].value + "\n"; } } if (s) alert("Passwords in forms on this page:\n\n" + s); else alert("There are no passwords in forms on this page.");})();

(Switch the "less than sign" for the real sign. I couldn't write it here. The page would go crazy)

It should give you the password.

Don't know who wrote the code, but credit to him/her :)

I have entered my password for a certain site into the Wand. Now I have forgotten the password, and that site does not offer any way to change/recover forgotten passwords. 99% of the time I log in from my own computer, and Wand works like a miracle, but sometimes I just have to use another PC, and I cannot, without the forgotten password!

So, is there any way I can recover the passwords from the Wand data file? I hoped Tools -> Wand passwords -> Edit would do the trick, but alas. :(

What can I do?

You have a little file (fastforward.ini) to help with the fast forward command, by listing the various ways sites can use to offer that option.

I think it would be nice to have the same for form fields (name, address, etc.). That way, Opera could easily fill entire forms with the stored personal info.

Andrei and I chatted offline. The question is this: can you tell Opera to always save a password on all future pages (i.e. always set it to "save password for this page" or "save password for this server"

The answer is no, but I think it would be a neat feature, probably something which would best work as a opera6.ini advanced feature tweak.

Is there any way you can activate the wand automatically, as not to appear every time you enter a new site, but be set to let’s say “remember password for this page”.. is there like an ini file where you can set this ?
