I have the same problem, with both my phone and tablet. I cannot import otherwise, as I cannot find how to export setting other than the QR code.

Hi there,

Thank you for reporting this issue. Currently, Thunderbird for Desktop is generating an incorrect QR Code when exporting accounts for Mobile, and it is including the passwords.

This issue has been fixed and will be released in version 153. Once the update is available, please install it and try again.

In the meantime, you can import your accounts by unchecking the "Include all account passwords" option before generating the QR Code.

As Ed mentioned, this is a known bug: [GitHub Issue](https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/8520).

Please keep an eye on that link for further updates.

Thank you!
