My frequently accessed websites don't all remember my login information as though it's my first time connecting with my computer. Where is the setting to reset this feature so I don't have to enter my information every time I want to access my accounts?

...even though the settings are exactly the same as the other laptops everyone in the group. Why are these bugs not disclosed ? One set of problems exchanged for another -- reminds me of Microsoft 'upgrades'. Whatever happened to the post about Addon icons spontaneously disappearing ? Another release bug ? And then there was the "Bookmarks vertical spacing not optimized", which promulgated a response soliciting me to, "...describe the problem...". Quite a unique experience. For us.

I have 3 email accounts which i unified. when log in I get prompted to enter password for all three accounts which I do, then I get prompted again to enter the password to all Password Manager to save my passwords which I do not want and therefore I uncheck it for all three; I then get prompted again for all three which I enter password, then I get imap login error on my main account which I click cancel a few times before it goes away,

I use Thunderbird portable. How do I fix this issue. it should be that one enters the password for each account once not three to four times. I do not want to use Password Manager to Save my accounts.

Also if ever I have to change password how do I do that? thank for your help.

I have the portable version, download from portable apps website.

I am unable to access my mails on Greenby with Thunderbird and I suspect the password is incorrect. I can read my mails on the Greenby server and know the necessary password but cannot work out how to enter this into Thunderbird! As I am no expert, a simple guide would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance. Roy

When I use “generate a strong password”, it isn’t automatically saved and no prompt asking if I want to save the password appears, effectively making me lose the password unless I save it elsewhere and add it manually. I have noticed this on my iPad pro, but I am unsure if it also happens with my other devices. This happens in non private tabs, I do not know if it does in private tabs.

I have been using Thunderbird for several years to read and send my Comcast.net email. As of 5/23/26 Thunderbird is no longer showing my new emails. However, when I login directly to my Comcast.net email account their are plenty of new emails.

I thought that perhaps Thunderbird is using the wrong password to try to get my comcast.net email. So I examined my password by going to Menu > Settings > Privacy & Security > Saved Passwords , which opens the "saved logins" window. Then I pressed "show passwords." I found that instead of showing my usual comcast.net password, it showed something that is bogus and several hundred characters long. I right clicked on the bogus password, selected "edit password" and entered my usual correct password. The "saved logins" window then showed the correct password. Finally I closed the "saved logins" window.

Then I opened the "saved logins" window again and confirmed that the password was still correct.

Then I exited Thunderbird and restarted it. Usually, when I start Thunderbird it simply opens my inbox window and shows me my new emails. But now a separate browser window opened from xfinity (comcast) showing my email account name and asking me to sign in. I pressed the "Let's Go" button and is prompted me for my password to the comcast.net account, which I entered. This password was entered in a browser window with URL "https://login.xfinity.com/login" so it seems legitimate. The browser window then disappeared and I assumed Thunderbird would now show my emails.

Sadly, Thunderbird did not show updated emails. So I went back to Menu > Settings > Privacy & Security > Saved Passwords and checked the password. For some reason is had changed to another, different, bogus and several hundred characters long.

I have attached a screen shot of the "Saved Logins" window showing the bogus password and another screenshot of the entire bogus passwords before and after I entered the correct password.

I have been pleased with Thunderbird for a long time, but this has me worried.

Can you give advice?

I changed my password in my email provider. TB kept saying that it was the wrong password. After a few unsuccessful tries I rebooted tb. It worked. Then, whenever I opened tb it asked for password. I then tried checking 'password manager' and it remembered the password. Fine. Could have been easier. 1. Notice that tb requires reboot to accept password change. 2. Explanation that password manager is "remember password so you don't need to enter every time".

A little more nitpicking: For as long as I have used tb I cannot print a selection of an email. It wants to print the whole thing, along with headers. I have to select, copy, paste to notepad, then print. Could be easier.

Recently it's a daily occurrence that I must enter the password for my SMTP server. I always check "Use Password Manager to remember this password" but it doesn't help. The next day I'll have to go through this again.

I power on my machine multiple times each day, and I use Thunderbird each time. It doesn't happen each time. It seems to happen only the first time I use Thunderbird each day. This is new behavior. Before it would happen now and then, now it's daily.

I don't have a Primary Password. No need for it.

If you need to see the message I can send it to you, but I'm not attaching it right now because it shows my email address and the smtp destination. Maybe I'm being too careful.

When I tried to delete my old password in "Show Passwords" by highlighting my old password and hitting the backspace key to delete it and every time I click on the background or hit "Enter", it just pops back on where it was so I couldn't correct it without having to click "Remove all" which turned off the "Show Passwords" in "Saved Passwords".

I'm having so much trouble with Apple Mail and Thunderbird saving my password and I do have an Apple User Defined Password. So, I'm constantly having to input my password. Any suggestion would be deeply appreciated!

Trying to sign-in to my local library, but I'm not allowed to unless I save my library password to Firefox for them to 'manage'. I will manage my own password information. How do I say 'no' to this request?
