Useful way to recover Opera browser magic wand passwords
Forgotten that damn password because you've have it stored in Opera for so long? This little trick will help you find out your password. It's very clever and totally clientside, so don't be worried about being hacked or something xD
1. Open the website where you stored your password before. You should see the yellow border around the input fields.
2. Press Ctrl+F3 or Edit - Source to open the sites sourcefile
3. Find the location of the username/password input tags. (Press CTRL+F and search for POST) Above these tags there should be a line <form action="..." method="POST">
4. Change POST to GET and press Apply Changes in the toolbar
5. Go back to the website and press Ctrl+Enter to apply the wand data to the fields and submit the form.
6. Check the site URL in the address bar - you should see your password in plain text.
Enjoy!
