Password Manager After The Last Update Doesn't Work

I-Thunderbird Save passwords

I've been using Thunderbird on our pc for decades, but it I believe the last software update has corrupted the "Password Manager". Since then, almost every time I attempt to log in, I receive the message about my password is incorrect, even though I have changed and checked the box that states something like "use Password Manager" for it. This is naturally "driving me crazy". Is there going to be a fix or is it just my problem? Thank you!

Does Thunderbird even use a password for your email? It does not any longer for many of the major players who require oauth authentication and manually forcing use of a password will not work

So lets back up to the basics.

  1. What mail provider?
  2. What are your current mail server settings for the account?
  3. What anti virus do you use? Do you still have issues with it uninstalled?

Thanks Matt; our mail provider is Comcast. Server settings are: IMAP mail server, imap.comcast.net; Windows Defender.
