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.

Earlier this year I downloaded Thunderbird and started trying to use it. Early on, I somehow set a password and I am not able to remember that password. So, at that time, I uninstalled Thunderbird and continued using my old Outlook 2016.

Recently, I realized that End of Life for Outlook 2016 was near or already here. So, I decided to try Thunderbird again. HOWEVER, Thunderbird still keeps prompting me for passwords – apparently looking back at my previous installation.

I would REALLY like to get out of my MS connection and continue with Thunderbird, but I am frustrated and can’t get in enough to reset the password/

All assistance and guidance will be very much appreciated.

Good afternoon,

I'm setting up Thunderbird to replace Outlook. When attempting to send an email (though Microsoft 365 server), the send fails and asks me to reset password. I have searched in settings and account settings and cannot find where to reset the password.

Is there a chat assist available?

Many thanks!

i was trying to change my password to correspond with my other server so i thought changing my password was just to do that but i removed even the primary one that was made 15 years ago and do not have it written down . so now i cannot open up my thunderbird emails or send anything because i do not know the primary password and you guys do not show anywhere i can change that without knowing my primary. which is a joke.
