I am trying to change my Thunderbird password which I have forgotten but the settings page needs it to reveal saved passwords, which is a catch 22. Do I need to remove it in order to replace it with something that I can remember or is there another way to fix this?

‘Trying to install T-bird in new computer and I forgot the password. And no, the password for Thunderbird is not in the saved passwords in settings’ for ‘Thunderbird’ (Mozilla).

Thanks RM

I'm lost about how to get back into the program. I already had Thunderbird and tried to re-install it. After that it asked for my name and e-mail address & password. I forgot the password.

Hi, I use a BT email account. I view it on my PC with Thunderbird. I have changed my email account on BT and this works when I use the web version. I cannot find how to change the password in Thunderbird. I have read previous posts which refer to "Tools" then "Options" - I cannot find Options anywhere. Can you help please?

I cannot change my email address to my new email address.

When I try to follow the primary email change procedure, after entering my new address, I receive a message: "that account already exists."

My new email address is: [edited] @gmail.com My old email address is [edited] @aol.com

I no longer have access to my old email address [edited] @aol.com which changed years ago.

I have never had any identity confusion with my current gmail address, [edited] @gmail.com

This situation may have happened from my previous attempts to update my primary email address. Could you send me a verification code to [edited] @gmail.com so that I can resolve this situation?

Thank you.

Quite some time back I had set up Thunderbird to start looking into using, how ever life got in the way and I continued to use Outlook 365. I have forgotten my password and I have tried every password that I could think of with no success. How can I reset my access to my email address? which I have had for about 30 years. Or do I need to just start over with a new address? Thank you in advance for your anticipated help. Dennie

I see numerous entriesdescribing my problem--but no solutions. where are the solutions to these password problems? After using thunderbird email for several years with almost no issues--and no passwords required--I get a pop up asking for a password I do not have. I tried my mozilla pw, my google pw, my yahoo pw, my thunderbird pw,--and now I am stuck. How can I get access to my emails? By the way, I do contribute a small fee for thunderbird mail which I not required to do. HELP! Since I cannot access my emails, I cannot retrieve various verification codes.

Is there a way to get your email password within Thunderbird? I'm trying to add TB to a new computer but it is not taking the password that I thought I was using.

Verification codes are sent to my email but since I cannot access my emails (see yesterdays question/issue) I cannot access the verification email. So what options, if any, do I have?

HI -- My email accounts (2) vanish and I have recquire them to sign back in

I have my one main account up and running again (for now) but my secodary account I can't recall my password.

is there any way to keep my secondary account but update and change the password for it??

Won't allow me access - keeps kicking me out - until I can get the account and password to match up

Many thanks!!!

I cannot login to Thunderbird. I have a Telstra Bigpond email account. I have set it up for imap using the Telstra settings. My password is correct but it is not accepted and I cannot login.
