How to disable 'password' function ?

Hello,

When I open Thunderbird a pop-up window appears to fill in my password. This is new. This has not been there for the many years I am using TB

Can I disable this function ? and if 'yes', how can I do that ?

P.S. I am talking about the 'master password' for the 'Software Security Device', as well as the password for each individual email account I have linked to the dashboard

Thank you for taking the time to answer and assist me in this matter.

Christiaan.
