How to Change the Ask for Password Preference on an Opera Browser

The Opera browser includes advanced security features that help protect you from identity theft and fraud on the Web. One of these features includes an optional master password that the browser uses for installing security certificates offered from certain websites and for obtaining your stored passwords. When you first set your master password, the default setting asks you to enter your password each time you install a certificate. If you wish to get these prompts less frequently, Opera lets you change the frequency to suit your needs.

Type your master password, and click "OK" to confirm.

You can also select one of the additional frequency options, ranging from every 10 minutes to every hour, when you wish to receive a password prompt. Click "OK" to save your settings.
