Hey everybody,

sytem: Ubuntu 20.04.2 thunderbird: 78.11.0 (64-bit)

I'm excited about the integration of Enigmail in Thunderbird. I'd love to migrate from GnuPG and the "Start migration now" in the "Goodbye from Enigmail"-tab seems promising.

However, Thunderbird is asking for all the passwords belonging to the keys which should be migrated. Unfortunately, the window is in the foreground and I'm not able to open / select my password manager. The passwords I've used are very long and very random. I'm not able to print them out and type them in...

I assume that I'm not the only person having such difficulties. Is there some kind of workaround? I'd love to encrypt my mails again :-)

Regards Max

perhaps ask in the E2ee mailing list. https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/e2ee

But my guess is you may well be alone with it.
