I cannot remember my email password.

In setting up a new PC (laptop), I must make my password known to the software. But I cannot remember my password. On my existing, older, laptop, I saved my email password long ago i.e. I do not have to enter my password, on the older laptop in order to get email. I no longer remember my own password. How do I find my password on my existing, older, laptop ? Thank You. <[edited from public forum] @attglobal.net>

If Thunderbird is still installed on the old computer, look in <Settings | Privacy & Security | Passwords | Saved Passwords>. This may reveal your passwords, although if the authentication method for a particular host is OAuth2, you will see an encoded representation of a token, which is not the same as, and can't be used as a password.

Otherwise, you may have to reset your passwords for each email service.

Thank You Mr. or Ms. Lin ! I think this solved the problem, will know for sure a bit later- had been looking in the wrong "Settings" if you can believe it.

I can believe it. In my opinion, the settings in Thunderbird are not very logically organized, and I often have trouble finding things that I know are in there somewhere.
