Very annoying. Latest Win10 Home update 2004 OS build 19041.610 Latest Thunderbird update 78.4.0 (32-bit)

Please see attachment.

Windows security panel appears when trying to access Thunderbird email account passwords, wanting the Win10 device account password to allow that access.

Does not affect Firefox password access.

Cannot find a windows setting to disable this request.

Any solutions?

Thanks, Malc
