• Why thunderbird changed the way it uses the passwords of gmail accounts?

  I had put Tbird in place to always ask for a password for each account. That's always good. I could get into my gmail accounts by entering a password every time. My passwords on Tbird have not been registered. A couple of days, I had to reinstall Tbird after a computer problem. I logged into my gmail account and said not to save the password. When I logged on today it cowardly to remember passwords. I deleted them. When it tried to access accounts instead of simply ask a password he has known a rigmarole of 'connection via the gmail account' and I had confirm that Tbird is allowed to access gmail. An extra step every time, boring, but not terminal. BUT Tbird and then SAVES PASSWORDS, leaving my email accounts exposed, it's much more serious. I tried to remove the passwords, but then we went through the whole process and he did save yet. I don't want to add one master password (yet another thing to forget). I don't want Tbird automatically connect to each account every time that I load it. I DON'T want to control what he reads, and when he reads. What can I do to return to the configuration of the old?

  Since the version of Thunderbird 38 uses OAuth2 for authentication of Gmail accounts. It is the only way to be considered "safe" by Google.
  http://TechCrunch.com/2012/09/17/Google-OAuth-2-0-for-Gmail-and-talk/

  Basically, you authenticate with your Gmail account, once, and Google provides you with an authentication token. That's what Thunderbird records under "password". It is not your Gmail password. The token will expire at some point, you will need to again in the future.

  If you want to revert to the old behavior allows Google you jump through some hoops.
  You must allow 'less safe apps' in Google, or turn your settings on 2 stages of authentication in the context of a specific application password.

  In Thunderbird, account settings change "authentication type" "normal password" for your Gmail account.

• Why so many (6) "Password set out" Dialogues?

  I use Thunderbird on Win 8.1 with master password password manager. I'm also under Lightning and provider for Google Calendar. I get 3 calendars of mine over a few general calendars. When I run Thunderbird I sign on 6 times. It sounds ridiculous. Why have a master password if other add-0ns cannot use it?

  It should be a simple matter to define an indicator if the user has entered a master password. If the flag is set, the Add-ons know they can use their passwords stored without worrying about the user.

• Why the finder ask password when logged in as an administrator

  Hi, I got a new iMac (2015) since a backup time machine of a 2011 iMac that 'death '.  (I know, within a period of one we are likely to see the 2016... refreshed models but I was desperate). Now, every time I make a change to a folder I have to enter my password.  I even deleted the password, but demand still appears. . It's just that, without a real password I can just hit enter.  However, I would like to use a password (even if I'm the only person using the computer) and I would really stop requests the constant "enter password".

  Thanks for any help.

• ICloud why my device connection password?

  Just changed my macbook air account login user password and then iCloud began asking me to enter my new passwords, to continue to protect data stored in iCloud.  So this is something new, I've been using iCloud for several years and have not seen elsewhere.  Why my device user password account would need apple/icloud?  So I called applecare and they explained that it was because I had turned on to apple two factor authentication (should not be confused with two-step authentication).  They said apple cannot access my device passwords.   Guess we should just trust them.   It seems precarious to someone else?  Whenever I have change my device password I (we) have to give them to apple, if you want to use authentication in two steps.  Just a thought.

  No, it seems very sure of myself.

• Why doesn't my password work?

  I signed up for an account in the last 30 minutes. I chose a password and confirmed. Then I went to the Android store to download Firefox for Android on my phone - and it has worked successfully. But when I tried to login, my password was rejected. I checked to make sure it was the same thing, and it is. Why doesn't my password work? Oh, and it is 9 characters long with two digits.

  In addition, I tried to change my password of Firefox on my desktop PC to be rejected for the same problem. So I can't even change my password (it takes the old password).

  Password for what?
  This forum?
  The synchronization service account of Firefox?
  Or?

  On checking passwords saved Tools - Options - Security - passwords-
  The box under the heading "the passwords for the following sites are stored on this computer" are EMPTY.
  I can fix it by restoring files to the root of C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\ xxxxxx.default\ - excluding all subfolders,
  I've sorted it out yesterday by the first - restore files from 20th Jan. But to do so once more during the afternoon.
  It happened twice today - but I can't use Symantec Backup last night.
  I don't see why this is happening - although he did during my first attempt at writing this email.

• Thunderbird deleted all my emails and placed 300 folders on my desktop. Why is this happen and how can I recover my lost messages?

  I was checking my emails as usual and after trying to open a message not read all emails have been deleted from my Inbox. At the end of this process, about 300 folders with names like "QxxzBx z.html.pX10aRdGp.html.part" were placed on my desk. How can I recover my mails and make sure that this problem does not happen?

  I use Thunderbird version with Mac OS X 10.9.2 24.4.0

  I hope that this does not happen again. Perhaps as a test, you can select some messages and drag them to your desktop, to see if this occurs behavior. Of course, that we do not know why it happened, but it might help to understand if this is actually what happened.

  I'm glad you could at least undelete them, Adam!
