I am writing to request assistance with my Mozilla account. I am unable to access my account due to several reasons: I have lost access to the two-factor authentication app, I have lost the backup data with the 10-digit recovery key, and I no longer have any devices where I was previously logged in. I only have access to my email address.

I do not need access to the synchronized data; it would be acceptable if you delete it and allow me to register a new Mozilla account with my existing email address. Using a different email address is not an option for me.

I am in the process of transitioning away from the Google ecosystem and would like to use Mozilla's services and products. Could you please help me reset my Mozilla account so that I can register a new one with my current email address?

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Best regards, Evgeny

Hi everyone! I completely cleaned TB (using BCUninstaller) from the system, reinstalled, and it still won't add a google account. Tried different ways several times. I never had any problems with gmail in previous versions. Been using it for over a decade.

Before that, I had the previous TB. I decided to uninstall it completely and put the latest clean version to set everything up again.

my wife's computer uses Spectrum webmail and Thunderbird to access her email. She uses Thunderbird all the time. Last night Spectrum did something so her password was deleted. We finally got webmail up and working with a new password, however, when she tries to access Thunderbird a message comes up and says to log into mail.brighthouse.com and put in the password. We tried this several times and the same message comes up without letting us use Thunderbird. Sorry we are seniors and this is driving us crazy,as my wife loves TBird.

Thanks Richard Buzzard buzzard2841@gmail.com

I have several email account set up with Comcast and am able to sign on to all but one with Thunderbird. That one gives me the login has failed message to enter new password or try again. I've compared the settings on that account with the others that work and they appear to be correct. However when I check saved passwords, that account is missing the smtp line for the POP account. At this point, I've run out of ideas of what to do, short of deleting that account on Thunderbird and setting it up as a new account. Help! Thanks.

I DON'T want my email account password to be saved anywhere in Thunderbird and I DO want to have to enter the password each time I start up Thunderbird anew. However, my password is being retained. I've deleted the password entry from Settings & Saved Passwords but seem to have to do that every time before I close down. Where/how can I ensure I have to enter my hotmail password each time I start up Thunderbird please?

EDITED1 IS IT MORE CLEAR ? Hello everybody, its my first question here! I am using the Firefix password manager and it allows me to store passwords within firefox. And with the general password of password manager, I am able to view and copy passwords. For one website, I changed the password, but made an error. When I do login on that website, password manager lets appear different options with dates. See screenshot on link.These dates dont appear when I open the password manager. Now I can stil login on that website when I choose a former date of 23 avril on the list. How can I copy this password? Have a beautiful day... or night ! Xavier

I have Thunderbird 128.2.3 (32 bit). I have set Server type IMAP mail server, then Server Name to: outlook.office365.com and Outgoing Server: smtp.office365.com I have OAuth2 on both. When I enter, I get a new Thunderbird input that requires a password. My password does not work, the therefore my email account does not work.

I have confirmed that my Outlook Password is correct. I have cancelled my Outlook passwords. I have installed the 2 step verification option.

What needs to be done so I can use Thunderbird on my PC Win 10? Thank you, Ed

Hi.

I've been at it for an hour now. Found nothing in the help, a few things in Google that no longer work... I've updated my MS password including Hotmail/Outlook.com, so no I need to do that in Thunderbird. I can't find where that's done ? (thunderbird windows latest release)

"account parameters" has something for the SMTP server, but not for the IMAP one.

Thanks for any help.

Whenever I sign in to sync my browser it keeps asking me to sign in again to reconnect to sync.

I've tried reinstalling the browser, deleting the Mozilla directory in %APPDATA% and reinstalling, removing account and signing in again.

No matter what I do I keep getting asked to sign in again to reconnect even though the initial sign in was successful.

For whatever reason my request to stay logged in on certain sites is not work. Each time I close a browser or turn of my computer I have to log back in again. I have cleared the history and the cache and rebooted and it still does it.

Hello

Version 128.5.2 esr.

After starting the program, entering the password and checking the "check box" MT does not remember the passwords for the email account and Google. The password manager is empty. After restarting it is the same.

After entering verification code from email i receive an error every time i try to login into this account on my PC, i fully cleared browser data several times but it didn't help

Microsoft are again complaining about normal password login.

Today I have updated to Version 128.2.0esr (64-bit)

I have set outgoing server to StartTLS and OAuth2 and it is fine.

When i set OAuth2 in server settings and try to retrieve mail i get "Host contacted, sending login............" and it sticks at that point with no error messages from Thunderbird or Microsoft.

If i revert to "Normal Password" it is fine.

When microsoft first complained i turned on two step authorisation and the used their option (cannot remember what it was called now) to create a login password/key for thunderbird so that it would still work for "Normal Password" setting

How do we get round Microsoft's obstacles???>

This is getting completely ridicolous! First SMPT failed to connect, than IMAP stopped working with our years old perfect working OAuth2 config. So we deleted in the end the program. re-installed the latest version of Thunderbird and tried to reconnect our Gmail account with our user/password (both 1000% correct!!), all on Oauth2 according to your help, but nothing works, simply getting error message that either config, user or password are incorrect.

Hi guys, what is going on? This our business account, and we URGENTLY need it up and running again. Please HELP!

As of today, I can no longer using my Workspace accounts in Thunderbird. They have been set to OAuth forever but I guess Google changed the 2FA requirements today and I am locked out of receiving or sending mail from TBird. I have searched higha nd low and cannot find a contemporary solution. Any thoughts/fixes???

Hello! And THANK YOU!! As you can gather from the subject line, I want to know if Thunderbird can be loaded automatically upon booting my computer?

My OS is Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon, Cinnamon Ver. 6.4.6 Thunderbird-Nebula 128.7, 64Bit for Linux Mint-001 - 1.0

I also have a master password enabled on my TB installation.

If not, maybe it could be added to a future release:)

Thanks again, MA

TB keeps asking for my iCloud calendar and contacts username and pw. I enter both, using my iCloud app-specific pw, but they are not accepted. Any help much appreciated.
