Possibly anything it deems fit once you say yes. Because the question you’re answering isn’t being specific as in “this particular item, in this box, that looks like this, in this particular cubby”. You’re just saying yes, you can come through the door into my house. Let me unlock the door, help yourself.

Yes, it’s saying a particular title. But... who created that keychain to start with??? (Presumably Opera). What’s in it???

And personally, if I don’t trust software, then I don’t install it.

Most prompts I get are to allow the program into the safe. After that, it can create its own entry. But... what did it put into it’s own entry? Where did that come from?

If I don’t trust the developer, then I’m not handling them the keys to nothing.

Why do you use Opera then?

Has to be the most uneducated post. First off I've been using Opera for years, and have not had one issue with it.

Your comment on it being acquired by the Chinese is well uneducated, they're currently funded by a Chinese company and the original developers are the same nothing has changed. As for Opera reporting back what it can access inside of your Keychain DB, very highly unlikely. I've packet sniffed my Mac and my network, all I've seen were Operas servers related to their VPN service along with the update servers.

Hey Al 404, thank you for posting this question. After being an Opera user for six years (due to site testing) I have been rather dumbfounded by this pop up too. Hopefully someone kind will be along shortly to answer our query....?

Opera has published an answer to what is being discussed here: https://blogs.opera.com/security/20...-to-grant-opera-access-to-your-macs-keychain/
It requests you to enter the password because it updated its signing certificate. If you grant it access, it becomes the old Opera again and you can use the stored passwords.
