Hello,
After upgrading my Thunderbird install to version 60.2.1 on my Xubuntu 18.04 machine, I cannot access my mail anymore, because there seems to be a problem with passwords.
Symptoms:
- When starting Thunderbird, I get an "Enter your password" box for each of my accounts even though I had my passwords saved.
- When I go to Preferences -> Security -> Passwords -> Saved Passwords, the list is empty.
- When I try to enter a password and save it, it does not actually get saved and Thunderbird will ask again soon after.
- The following line is logged to console a whole bunch of times:
JavaScript error: jar:file:///usr/lib/thunderbird/omni.ja!/components/crypto-SDR.js, line 179: NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Couldn't decrypt string
Other findings:
- Downgrading Thunderbird to 52.7.0 fixes the problem. The old saved passwords just reappear again and Thunderbird has no problem logging in.
- Starting Thunderbird 60.2.1 on a Windows 10 box with exactly the same profile folder works fine. It can read the passwords and access my mail accounts.
Can you please tell me what to do to fix this, so I don't need to keep using an old version of Thunderbird just to access my mail?
Thanks,
