Finally cracked the Opera 10 captcha problem

OK, this works now for me.


Enter into Opera address box: opera:config#history%20navigation

click the "Show all" box to reveal all preferences.

Right down near the bottom of the page look for "Wand Autosubmit" in the user preferences section.

Untick this box as it's default is to submit.

Save that section and close down Opera and restart it.

Now try and login into a captcha website.

The only downside is that ALL wand passwords are now manual click to enter - doh.

Ignore the previous post

The Opera 10 solution I found doesn't work on captcha enabled websites. Opera somehow saves the previous captcha word and enters it in that confirmation box.

Bollocks!

So, the question I have to Opera is: Do any of your programmers and testers have accounts on captcha enabled websites?  Answer must be NO!

Opera 10 and that damn new Password Manager!


Update: Solution doesn't work correctly!

So you've just upgraded to the new Opera 10 Web Browser and immediately hate the new interface....Mmmmm.....me too. But this is not a grumble blog ;-)

The main reason of this blog is a serious problem with the password manager, that used to be called the Wand. On some websites you need to enter a confirmation word or number to login. Usually you'd click the wand to populate the username and password, then enter the word manually.

However, with the New Opera 10, it executes the website username and password immediately using " " as a word in the confirmation box. 

Right, I've sorted this problem out. Here's the example. 


1. I cleared out the old wand password and site for http://thebox.bz and opened up the login page for thebox.bz.
2. I entered Username and Password to bring up "password manager" and saved.

(At this time the for sites like thebox, it still wont work because it executes " " as the word in the confirmation box!)

3. Close down the tabbed page and open a new page - http://thebox.bz
4. Now ENTER the confirmation word BEFORE....
5. ....clicking the wand and you should now login OK.

The last 2 steps are opposite to what I suspect me and others have been doing in the past.
