Have 2 accounts in a TB install: gmail and outlook. Use outlook as my primary sending account. All mail received on outlook account is FORWARDED to gmail account. Have been asked several times this morning to either login to Microsoft account or enter a new password. Entered my "regular" Microsoft/Outlook password when asked and told TB to save it. Still getting authentication problems. Password I am using WILL log me into the Outlook website. Any clues?

Every time I start-up Thunderbird, a series of 2 pop-ups from Yahoo open up: [ Sign in using your Yahoo account ]. I close the pop-up and a 2nd one pops-up. I close it and say 10 or 15 mins they pop back up in the same series. It's very frustrating. I can't tell if it's Yahoo or a scam cookie. I notice the URL at the top of page and it's the same one every time and every day. The same URL shows: "https://login.yahoo.com/?src=thunderbird&client_id=dj0yJmk9NUtCTWFMNVpTaVJmJmQ9WVdrOVJ6UjVTa2xJTXpRbWNHbzlNQS0tJnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmeD0yYw--&crumb=uE2cxQuNxpE&login_hint= ..." <... it goes on for a few more lines. It's long. I went to Firefox and cleared all 'cache' and 'cookies' and they still pop-up in Thunderbird. Heck, they just popped up again while writing you! How do I stop this intrusion while using Thunderbird? Thanks, RonD

I recently had to re-install Windows again, because of microsoft updates messing up my PC. As always, I have to repeat the process of adding my emails to Thunderbird. I was able to add my gmail without too much trouble. However, I am unable to add my hotmails because the link Thunderbird is providing is incorrect. The login for my hotmail comes up, but when I click to add my password for the email, it gives me the following message. "You can't sign in here with a personal account. Use your work or school account instead." I have always had ONLY a personal account. I don't even know what a work/ school account is! I have never had this problem before. What the heck is going on here? Please fix these login links, so I can add my hotmails asap. Cheers!

I can't sign-in to my Thunderbird account on my laptop. It's not recognizing my password. I've turned off the computer and opened the program again, to no avail. ANY help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi a few weeks ago i had the problem that my firefox-stored-passwords are gone and there are files named logins.json.corrupt and logins.json-1.corrupt to -4 The in dir backup was also corrupt. File length 122 -123 kb all nulls. If i look at the dates first to last, they span two weeks were i didnt notice the problem. PC is always hibernated after work. Except for one which i imported just before from edge at the end of the two week span No problem: logins replaced by external backup as i found here at the forum.

But: How can Firefox produce multiple corrupt files without noticing me? (I have saved them for reference) In that two weeks span logins using firefox passwords obviously worked. (I dont remember the details)

Then some updates and reboots. No problem. But after work i do always hibernation

TODAY: PC didnt survive hibernation. logins and in-dir backup are corrupt again.

What about a) checking better if something is going wrong (obiously you do something because you rename the files for some reason) b) Noticing the user c) And how on earth this can go wrong in the first place.

Now for the obscure: Both times somebody has just before posted something against the greatest President of all time at Fux Nus using this pc. Backdoor possible?

Thanks

Edit: Using Windows, no other problems with storage on the 1TB Samsung ssd

How to export passwords from Firefox Android in readable format like CSV for other password manager apps like KeePass XC or AuthPass? 

Currently as I'm seeing all Gecko-based browsers especially on mobile not just Firefox but also Mull, Fenix, Waterfox and Iceraven, lacks this.

Is this intentional or should I just keep Chrome as my browser because to jump to Firefox, I need basic things to be covered, which I don't see, Mozilla Firefox team doing on its own. 

Other browsers like Opera have proper in-built system of password manager. 

How unfortunate.

It's outrageous suddenly being locked out of mail box . It contains QC N° of locker containing a food parcel I need to pick up to day.!

I am 87 years old and do not understand what I am supposed to do!!

My password automatically enters my account in my computer. It also works on my laptop. No problem. I have not needed to know the password since it goes automatically to my site. I have used the email site for many, many years & it continues to work well. However I want to put the site also on my phone. Going to settings on my computer, the password that is shown does not work when I enter it on my phone? I am not computer savvy but would like to have the site on my phone. I don't know why the settings password doesn't work? Please help. Thanks so much.

Have no idea to whom I was chatting a week or so ago, but outlook.office365.com was recommended to me as the incoming server setting for Outlook.com. Set TB that way and used it for a week or so. TODAY got a "failure to authenticate" error from TB (have had many such errors before). Went directly to Copilot, as I thought it would be the most authoritarian place to clear up Microsoft problems. It provided the informaiton below: Official Outlook.com Thunderbird Incoming Server Settings (2026) IMAP (recommended) Settings Server name: imap-mail.outlook.com Port: 993 Security: SSL/TLS Authentication; OAuth2 Username; Your full Outlook.com email address

Why this is the correct server Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live, and MSN accounts do not use outlook.office365.com .

Set outlook account incoming server to imap-mail.outlook.com and reset TB Immediately got: Mozilla Thunderbird Thunderbird Authentication failure while connecting to server imap-mail.outlook.com.

Can someone please tell what's going on?

I described this problem on this forum a couple of hours ago--but I now know any response to help me will come via email--which I cannot access due to the password problem. I was using Thunderbird mail when up pops this pop-up asking for my password. I have never had to use a password to access my emails with thunderbird email. I tried a Yahoo mail password, a mozilla account password, a thunderbird account password--none are wanted. I can't find where to change a password or add a new password.

How can I get some help not sent via email.

Fired up 128.2.1 this morning -- worked fine. Pulled email of my Office365 and gmail accounts no problem. Noticed there was a point update to 128.2.2 - applied the update, but now both Office365 and Gmail fail to authenticate. Time out.

Anyone else seeing this?
