Thanks, that was exactly what I've been looking for.
I have changed it to 2 and now it works (tested with Chromium).
Your opera seemed to have the password already stored for ages - and will continue to fill the field. So will any other browser once you convinced him again to store it again.
I have used Opera not only with different mail accounts but also with different boxes over time (new job, new machine) bot Debian and Windows. And before I asked, I have tested this with fresh profiles of both Opera and Chromium.
So I'm pretty sure that Opera (12.x, things might have changed in newer versions) simply ignores this property. And indeed, looking in about:config, there is an option "AutocompleteOff Disables Wand", which is off by default.
It's good to know how it works, though: browsers continue to fill the password once it's stored, no matter that the admin has turned the autocomplete off. So admin can't "force" the browsers to forget it by just changing RC settings.
What they can do though, is that they turn it off *and* force password change, which they are doing periodically anyway. ;-). (*And* due to Opera's cranky behavior, force that setting On somehow.)
Thanks, aL.
P.S.: For those interested, I have started general question on this on Webmasters SE (without answers so far):
