I was recently asked for my email account password after many years. I have no idea what it is after all this time so I reset my password. I received an email from you accepting the new password. I still cannot login since it will not accept the new password. Who knows what the old one was. I initially tried to recover the old one but no luck doing that. Help!.

I am trying to change my Thunderbird password which I have forgotten but the settings page needs it to reveal saved passwords, which is a catch 22. Do I need to remove it in order to replace it with something that I can remember or is there another way to fix this?

Am at an impasse. I can, if I could get to them, answer the security questions!

I lost my primary password so I tried to reset it using this code in the console: "chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xhtml" . It has been running for a long time. I haven't received the Reset Password popup. It is still running. Attached is the screen shot.

‘Trying to install T-bird in new computer and I forgot the password. And no, the password for Thunderbird is not in the saved passwords in settings’ for ‘Thunderbird’ (Mozilla).

Thanks RM

I had my desktop pc (of 7 years) diagnosed today, and all systems were reported functioning. But, now when I try to send an email I'm asked for my password. I don't know what it is, and can't find it in my book of passwords. How do I get me email functioning again?

Hello,

I have several email addresses with Thunderbird. When I open Niels.Wichmann@gmx.de a password is requested which I no longer know. Under privacy and security => saved passwords there is no imap for the account, smtp exists. I can access the account with my app on my cell phone. How can I set a new password or how do I get the password? I can display all other passwords.

Regards N. Wichmann

I really love its functions, etc. All your info on how to remove a lost PASSWORD simply does NOT WORK !!! How about a simple instruction to rid the password so I can again access my EMAILS !!!

Forgotten part of Thunderbird password which appears not to have been saved. Thunderbird doesn't appear on my Password list.

How can I create a new password? Arnie

Overnight, while computer was sleeping, Thunderbird appears to have forgotten the email password. A dialog box pops up when checking email "login to server pop.centurylink.net with username {correct email address displayed} failed." With options retry, enter new password, and cancel available. Retry simply loops back to this error. Entering the (verified) correct password has no positive impact at all. Program and computer rebooted, no change. Windows 11 Pro. Password was not recently changed.

I ak being asked for the first time for a password when I go to my emails. Tried Mozilla acct PW,, Yahoo PW etc. When trying to use my account recovery key, I am sent a verification code sent to my email address--which I cannot get in to! That is the problem. That is why I am trying the recovery key.
