Hello.
Whenever I open Opera, it pops up a message asking for a password.
How to make a password prompt?
Regards

Hi.

Do you know what exactly the password is for or why it's asking for one? Does it have anything to with this?

I'm not sure what you mean here.

How do I run the Opera browser to ask for a password?
Obviously, it is a password such as when installing the system. If I enter the password the browser starts. I think writing a password to run a browser is an exaggeration. Now you understand my problem.

Just to be clear, what you want is for the browser itself to be password-protected so that someone must enter a password in order to use the browser. Is that a correct understanding?

Hi...

Just to confirm, is Opera asking for the password or your operating system? If Opera, did you set the Master Password, by any chance? If so, you might be able to disable it in "Preferences." If the operating system, what distribution and version of Linux are you running and what desktop environment are you using? What application is asking for the password?

Never before, no browser asked for a password. During installation of Opera I did not enter any passwords. After installing Opera and launching it prompts for a password. So I type the password I set up when I installed the system (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS). Only after entering the password will the browser start.
What's more interesting is how I press "cancel" button once, then the browser starts without password. I just do not want to be prompted for a password. When running Opera.

That's how it looks.

Translation:
Unlocking account keys.
Please enter a password to unlock the account key database.
Account key database was not automatically unlocked when signing in to this computer.

Hi...

Could you translate this into English for us, word for word?

EDIT: Whoops, you already did. Thanks!

Do one of these solutions help address the problem?

If I had to guess, you're using automatic login, correct?? Your Gnome keyring for credential/keys isn't being unlocked, so Opera (by default, I believe), uses it to store passwords for websites. You can address this one of two ways:

• Disable automatic login to your Linux desktop. Entering your password will unlock the keyring on login, and message goes away.
• Modify the Opera shortcut to have "--password-store=basic" at the end; there may be an option in Opera to switch which keyring/database it uses, but this runtime flag forces it to use its own credentials storage mechanism, and your system keyring is ignored.

Nothing helped.
Password reset - did not solve the problem.
Disable auto login - did not solve the problem.

It looks like Opera has written down a master password somewhere and is still remembering it. So even deleting a password does not solve the problem. You probably have to uninstall Opera and reinstall. But it also will not be certain that the password settings will be omitted during the uninstallation of Opera.

..and did you try starting Opera with the switch given?
Nope, this isn't to do with Opera. It's asking for your keyring password. You can set your keyring to stop asking for a password, start Opera with the switch given to keep it using local credentials storage. Or, you can try renaming the folder $HOME/.local/share/keyrings to $HOME/.local/share/keyrings.old and a restarting.

I can not rename the keyrings. How to do it?.

Since you don't tell us what you've done/tried or what problems you've encountered, we can't really tell you how to resolve them. Should just have to type in "mv" to move them to a different name, just as said before:
...from a terminal window, logged in as your 'regular' user, not root or sudo. Again, though, setting your keyring to not ask for a password works, as does starting Opera with the switch you've been given. Resetting your password is pointless, since not providing it to the keyring is what the message is about.

Here is a link from the Ubuntu forums for 16.04 that's not many years old for a different version than you have:
