I cannot recall my keepass password. I used my fingerprint to access. I put my password in keepass with it showing up when I opened the app but the app is all wonky in an endless deathloop and I cannot use my finger to access the database. What can I do?

After many years of using Thunderbird I am now considering ditching it. I am continually getting the Authorisation Failure message when trying to open Thunderbird. Why does this keep happening? It does not happen on my Android devices, just on Windows 11. I have tried deleting all three gmail accounts and re entering them. All is fine until I close down Thunderbird and then open it again. I run Norton 360 and have tried taking off Norton email security, but that didn't work. Any ideas, please?

I've had a Thunderbird email account for years. My laptop quit, so I've set up the account on a new laptop. I discovered that I hadn't saved my Thunderbird password, so I followed the procedure for "forgot password". This included a new p/w, and I also got a Mozilla PIN (for future Microsoft Password Manager use), and got a Mozilla Account Recovery Key, again for future use. But I can't log into my Thunderbird account. I get the message "Authentication Error" (Wrong p/w, email, etc.) Changing IMAP / POP settings didn't help, though I did go with the recommended IMAP setting.

Any suggestions?

You sent me a message: Did you sign in to Mozilla? Help us keep your account safe by approving your sign-in on: plus an "authorisation code", but I do not know how to use this.

TBird connected to AOl fine for several years. Now, today, TBird tells me that my AOL password is incorrect. I changed the AOL password but TBird still does not work. I can sign on to AOL just fine using Chrome and going to the AOL web site, but TBird will not sign me in. Please help.

Really weird problem with a friends thunderbird setup.

All of a sudden my friend was unable to get here emails. It kept saying the password was incorrect. Of course she didn't know her password but it was saved in Fire fox. Found the password and verified her centurytel webmail works. So put it in Thunderbird and still give me an error. I then decided to install Thunderbird on my personal laptop and everything works fine. So I decide to do a clean install, deleted all profile folders and everything. Reinstall Thunder bird and get an "Authentication error". I tried disable all her firewalls on her computer (Windows 11) and disabling the firewalls on the router/modem itself. It still doesn't work. I think next thing I will try is my laptop that has thunderbird installed with her email account.

Any other ideas?

Why does every time TB updates it cause all my Yahoo accounts force me to get new passwords? Is it TB or Yahoo that is creating this problem of me having jump through hoops just to get the accounts working again. BTW the passwords in TB don't work when this happens.

Either this get resolved or I stop updating TB.

I changed my password and added a PIN to my gmail account and even thought I get the prompt and allow access it doesn't work and keeps asking for it again. Say that it's the wrong email or password. I did delete the old password in the stored passwords but it didn't help. Whether I use my password or the PIN when connecting to google and then chose to allow access to Thunderbird it just keeps asking to grant access again.

Please help with the following issue when trying to setup new thunderbird email acct. I previously have been using thunderbird email acct. for about 15 years and just wanted to update. I am getting the following update failure : could not get OAuth2 for hostname = mail.comcast.net What do I do ???

Is there any way to communicate with Mozilla ThunderBird  ? It worked for over 10 years, but now won't even Install. Has there been some sort of Sabotage ? Why the strange error messages  ? Continous mandates to change usernames and passwords ?

I'm trying to add a Roadrunner email account to a new instance of Thunderbird (I bought a new computer).

The Roadrunner account already exists in my Thunderbird account and on the previous instance of Thunderbird.

When I attempt to add the Roadrunner account, Thunderbird rejects the Roadrunner account's password. Note that I can use the password get into the account on the Roadrunner site, but Thunderbird won't accept it. Of course,

Thunderbird's error message is vague to the point of being worthless, so I don't know why the Roadrunner account is being rejected.

What am I doing wrong?

My school email's storage and emails will expire end of today (June 30th, 11:59 PM EST). I accidentally thought the account would just be frozen at that time, but realized they would be deleting the account all together for universities alumni.

When I downloaded Thunderbird to transfer my emails, I'm logging in, but I'm getting prompted to log in to Microsoft rather than Gmail for some reason. The email should be Google Workspace. I'd love to know what's going on as I'm not sure and my school's IT support said it's a problem with Thunderbird as it should be gmail for me.

Anyone know of any fixes or suggestions?
