I'm not able to log into yahoo e-mail via Linux Firefox (145.0 (64-Bit)): The error message is "We were unable to log you in. Please try again from another device." I can log in with Chrome (Linux and Windows) and Firefox (Windows). My issue is to switch from POP3 to IMAP in Thunderbird. There the same error message occurs.

It looks like with this new version of Firefox I have to load my saved password file every time I start the browser, and even after doing the reload some of the passwords don't work forcing me to change them, and I would have to do another password save, but if I forget to do it and close the browser all the passwords are delete. I did not have this problem prior to this new install.

Also I prefer to use Firefox as a browser I feel it is way better than Edge and Chrome even though it doesn't work one a two websites I need to use. one only works on chrome the other only works on edge.

Let me know if you need other information.

Hi a few weeks ago i had the problem that my firefox-stored-passwords are gone and there are files named logins.json.corrupt and logins.json-1.corrupt to -4 The in dir backup was also corrupt. File length 122 -123 kb all nulls. If i look at the dates first to last, they span two weeks were i didnt notice the problem. PC is always hibernated after work. Except for one which i imported just before from edge at the end of the two week span No problem: logins replaced by external backup as i found here at the forum.

But: How can Firefox produce multiple corrupt files without noticing me? (I have saved them for reference) In that two weeks span logins using firefox passwords obviously worked. (I dont remember the details)

Then some updates and reboots. No problem. But after work i do always hibernation

TODAY: PC didnt survive hibernation. logins and in-dir backup are corrupt again.

What about a) checking better if something is going wrong (obiously you do something because you rename the files for some reason) b) Noticing the user c) And how on earth this can go wrong in the first place.

Now for the obscure: Both times somebody has just before posted something against the greatest President of all time at Fux Nus using this pc. Backdoor possible?

Thanks

13 Nov. I have been dealing with the problem of the requirement to sign in to Thunderbird using Google. It does not work. I enter my e-mail address, click next, and get a second window that says "Error 400". I tried to get some help with this through a company listed on the internet as Just Answer. That turned out to be a scam.

Someone called me this morning, offering to help me with this problem. The person was from the company The Web Services. While the technician from Web Services was working on my computer for a while to restore my Thunderbird files, he told he that they kept losing the internet connection to my computer. He said they had determined that they kept losing the internet connection, because some hackers were hacking into my computer, while they were working. He showed me a lot of evidence of hacking on my computer, indicating that the 2 technicians from Just Answer who had helped me the day before through long chats were hacking into my computer the entire time they were chatting with me, going through steps they said would solve the problem with having to sign in to Thunderbird using Google. I think the people from Just Answer had tried to create a Thunderbird back-up profile, but had not done it correctly. As a result, all the data within Thunderbird was lost. I cancelled my subscription with Just Answer today.

The technician from The Web Services was able to restore my Thunderbird, including the many local files I have. Some additional formatting of the site still needs to be done, and the correct server settings need to be set up. That is to be finished tomorrow morning. The Web Services person also sold me an anti-hacking firewall, which is supposed to also provide network security.

I am concerned, because on the Mozilla support page, it specifically states that Thunderbird does not offer phone support. I gave this company access to my computer today, so they could restore my Thunderbird files. The Thunderbird files have been restored. Now I see that the issue with trying unsuccessfully to sign in to Thunderbird using Google is still there. So I am right back where I started over a week ago, trying to find someone who can solve the issues that come up when I try to sign into Thunderbird with Google.

I am somewhat suspicious of the company The Web Services, because they called me and offered to fix the problems I am having with signing in to Thunderbird. Please let me know whether it was unwise to let them work on my computer today. Could this be another scam? Thank you.

14 Nov. I have been unable to solve the problem of needing to sign in to Thunderbird using Google. I have gotten myself into some trouble, and almost got scammed by trying to get help from on line providers to accomplish this. Some Dell technicians have the suspicion that my version of Thunderbird may be corrupted. I am going to take my Dell desktop to a computer shop tomorrow. I am hoping they will install a new form of Thunderbird onto an external computer, and then let me try to log in to Thunderbird on that version. If that works, then it will be an indication that the version I have been using on my Dell desktop is corrupted. The plan in that case would be to have the technician transfer all my Thunderbird data to the new version of T-bird on the external computer. Then he could install a new, fresh version of T-bird on my computer. Finally, he could attempt to return all my Thunderbird data from the external computer back onto the new version of T-bird on my computer. I am afraid that my Local Folders and their contents will not be transferred back to Thunderbird on my computer. I'm afraid that all my local folders will be lost. I'm not sure whether the technician will have to make a Thunderbird-Profile_back up before he removes the Thunderbird data from my computer. We'll see.

I had a Windows Update tonight, and after that, when I go to email the sign in dialog always pops up. This time it is not recognizing my email password, even though I know it is correct. Keeps saying login failed retry, enter new password, or cancel. This has never happened. I have HP Windows 11 Laptop.

Trying to set up My outlook email account in Thunderbird. Enter the correct info (User and password) and get incorrect password when I am 1000% sure I am entering the correct password but because there is no way to make any manual changes because Mozilla thinks they have everything set correctly, when they don't, I can't add the account. The manual evidently only works if the password is correct?? I can set the account up obviously in Outlook both on PC and both Outlook and Mail app on the IPhone using the same password but not Thunderbird??

Hello Thunderbird Support,

I’m having a recurring issue with Thunderbird continuously showing a Google login popup, even though I’ve already removed the Gmail account from Thunderbird.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Deleted all Gmail accounts from Account Settings.

Removed all saved passwords (including OAuth tokens) from the Password Manager.

Deleted these files in the Thunderbird profile folder: logins.json, logins-backup.json, key4.db, cert9.db, pkcs11.txt

Deleted Gmail folders from ImapMail and Mail.

Checked “Manage Identities” and “Outgoing Server (SMTP)” — no Gmail entries remain.

Restarted Thunderbird multiple times.

Despite all this, the Google verification window (accounts.google.com) still appears when Thunderbird starts.

It looks like Thunderbird is keeping a hidden OAuth reference to the old Gmail account somewhere in the configuration files. Could you please help me identify how to fully remove this cached Gmail authentication so the popup no longer appears?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards, Khaled Ben Ali info@baktradingtn.com

When adding my outlook account to thunderbird, my right password is regarded as wrong. I don't why. I've checked the password several times, and make sure it is right.

Hello I have been using Thunderbird forever it seems I am having issues with signing in to my email accounts, I have two main emails, one is: shaker0442@gmail.com, and other is: 0442taterhead@gmail.com My main email is shaker0442@gmail.com and I can't get Thunderbird to recognize my password, and I can't get it to load, and I don't know why, do you have the shaker0442 locked out?? Please help!!! I can only get email from 0442taterhead@gmail.com.... Thank You Bob Jack

non riesco piu'ad accedere a Thunderbird prima attraverso il browser mi chiedeva l'identificativo e passoword di yahoo.it ora invece con la richiesta della password principale non riesco a fare piu'nulla e non si accede

T-Bird one Yahoo of six accts, repetitive “ENTER CREDENTIALS” My T-bird release: 144.0.1 (64-bit) Desktop: WIN 11 Pro – with all updates

For the last few days, I have not been able to obtain emails on my desktop T-Bird for one of my six Yahoo accounts. And, I cannot send any emails from the account

BUT, I can access the target Yahoo email account via my desktop Firefox, via Android T-Bird and via Android/Firefox. And all incoming and outgoing emails are present. Stymied, I changed the Yahoo acct password. After the change, these three work domains perfectly as before. And again, all incoming and outgoing emails are present.

BUT, the repetitive error with my desktop T-Bird for the one Yahoo account persists. The POP-UP provides a long string in the URL window and the only text shows: “Edge: Too Many Requests” >>>>>>>> I’m not using EDGE [Yahoo must use EDGE for the login error POP-UP] The window in the bottom Task Bar displays: “Enter credentials” [repetitively – ad nauseum].

This is the copy of the Yahoo URL in the POP-UP: https://login.yahoo.com/?src=thunderbird&client_id=dj0yJmk9NUtCTWFMNVpTaVJmJmQ9WVdrOVJ6UjVTa2xJTXpRbWNHbzlNQS0tJnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmeD0yYw--&crumb=mdAGY49jGd8&login_hint=name_of_email_acct%40yahoo.com&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&pspid=954010027&activity=thunderbird-imap&done=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.login.yahoo.com%2Foauth2%2Fauthorize%3F.scrumb%3D0%26client_id%3Ddj0yJmk9NUtCTWFMNVpTaVJmJmQ9WVdrOVJ6UjVTa2xJTXpRbWNHbzlNQS0tJnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmeD0yYw--%26redirect_uri%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Flocalhost%26response_type%3Dcode%26scope%3Dmail-w I changed my email account name in the display above to: name_of_email_acct; all else is verbatim.

For clarity all six accounts work without encountering "Enter credentials" on the desktop via Firefox, my android via T-Bird app, my android via Firefox. Five of the six work on my desktop T-bird.

I did not add any extensions in the last week. I did disable all extensions (and restarted) with no change in behavior. I put a 25 cent piece on the keyboard to appease the computer gods – no change.

Yup: cleared cache and cookies. Deleted password from desktop T-Bird repository, but the new one is not recorded. Changed authentication from OAuth2 to Normal and back again- no change

Yes, I waited multiple hours to try again, with no luck.

Thoughts ????

I am operating on a pc with windows 11. i have Thunderbird, v. 141. I know my email and password for <redacted>@prodigy.net works, but T-bird won't let me sign in, using the password.

I had used T-bird back in 2018, so there are about 1900 files in it, but that file number is not only limited in date to around 2018, but there are thousands more on my prodigy.net (ATT) server extending up to today and going back farther than 2018. I know the incoming imap.mail.yahoo.com, port 993 with encryption SSL/TLS entered into T-bird. I know the outgoing smtp.mail.yahoo.com pathway. T-bird, as far as I can see, does not ask for the outgoing port, 465. Encryption is the same as above.

When I try to sign in, I receive the "retry, enter new password" message. No luck in retrying or reentering.

I can access my email through my server and through Apple apps on other devices, but not on this computer through Thunderbird.

I've made sure Thunderbird is unblocked as an app in Windows security. I can't think of much else. Help please.
