Opera is another browser to sync logins and passwords


The next version of Opera will include additional features for users who like to have the same browsing experience on multiple machines and even different devices. Opera Link, according to the organization, will win the synchronization of users and passwords. Gone are the story of getting decorating passwords, then.


To that end, Opera Software had to review internal security procedures. In addition, all web login systems company adopted the use of HTTPS, which makes authentication more secure, since data travels over the network completely scrambled (or encrypted, to the more technical staff).

Next Opera, the browser version for the brave, received the password synchronization, which relies on technology Opera Link (from the existing version 9.5 browser).

The first time you save your logins and passwords, an authentication key is generated on the user's machine to encrypt the contents of the data transmitted with that information. This same key is sent to Opera's servers, but assured by the private password of the account in Opera. It is from these security requirements that Opera Software ensures that no intruder will gain access to accurate logins and passwords of its users.


Opera Link synchronization of logins and passwords, available from the Opera 11:50
Interested in testing the manager logins and passwords from the Opera should download the latest version of Next, which reflects much of what is expected for the next version of the browser, Opera 11:50.

For my part, say the password sync feature is virtually indispensable in my daily use of the Internet. The difference is that I did not call for synchronizing with Opera Link, but the proper tool for this Google Chrome. If I'm not mistaken, Firefox also offers the same feature, under the baton of Firefox Sync.
