Why do I constantly have to manually enter the outgoing server password?

I have used Thunderbird since vs 2.0. I currently have 7 active email accounts, but have had up to 12 on my Windows platform running with no problems. Installed: Thunderbird vs 140.3.1esr Windows 10

I have recently had problems with the password entry for three of the accounts which use verizon.net, managed by AOL.

When sending a message on that email system, I often have to enter the outgoing server password manually. I have changed password on all three verizon.net email accounts, and for a few days email sends worked fine. But now, I am back to having to enter the password in the pop-up box when sending mail.

Any reason why this problem occurs after the system has operated fine for months/years. I don't see this problem with my other accounts using different mail servers.

Essentially the Verizon system for mail is one large mess. Largely i think because AOL are not really managing anything it is Yahoo now and as they are owned by bankers it is not really a technology company.

However it sounds like you settings are not correct. SMTP should be using oauth as the authentication method and that is initially configured using web pages and an authentication token is stored in the password manager. But at no time does the little windows asking you for a password appear with the option to save the password, Re-authentication of Oauth uses a full page web page, usually badged as AOL IIRC
