Mac Forum / Applications / Firefox / Mozilla / February 2006Thunderbird Bug? - View Saved Passwords failing
I am using the latest version of Thunderbird (1.5) under MacOSX 10.4.5. When I go to Preferences:Privacy:Passwords and click on: View Saved Passwords nothing appears. Can anyone else reproduce this bug? Now, what I need to do is clear a saved password for an e-mail account. Is there another way to accomplish this without going through the GUI? > I am using the latest version of Thunderbird (1.5) under MacOSX 10.4.5. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > I don't use Thunderbird, so YMMV, but when you go to the password manager, doesn't it list the sites for which it has saved user names and passwords? Can you just remove the entry for the site in question? Then, when you access the site, it will prompt for user name and password, and when submitting that, you should be asked again if you want to save them. At least, this is how it works in Mozilla (1.7.12).

By the way, I meant this as a work around, not a solution or excuse ;-) > Then, when you access the site, it will prompt for user name and > password, and when submitting that, you should be asked again if > you want to save them. > > At least, this is how it works in Mozilla (1.7.12).

Well, the problem apparently was that the sheet asking for the master password was not appearing...after quitting and restarting Thunderbird seemed to fix it. > Now, what I need to do is clear a saved password for an e-mail account. > Is there another way to accomplish this without going through the GUI? So, the next problem was that I had forgotten the Master Password. So, I went hunting and found that the only way around this would involve losing all my saved passwords...no big deal. If anyone else is interested, this involved going to my profile folder and deleting the key3.db and <number>.s files. I then had to go to each account and separating select 'Read Messages' to get it to ask for a password again and then to check for new messages when I select File:Get New Messages for:Get All New Messages Everything seems to be in the proper state again. >> I am using the latest version of Thunderbird (1.5) under MacOSX 10.4.5. >> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > went hunting and found that the only way around this would involve > losing all my saved passwords...no big deal. I don't think that was necessary - although you probably don't want to hear that now ;-) ... see my other response on this thread. > If anyone else is interested, this involved going to my profile folder > and deleting the key3.db and <number>.s files.

Therefore, your response would have been useless >>If anyone else is interested, this involved going to my profile folder >>and deleting the key3.db and <number>.s files.

Therefore, your response would have been useless Yes, I missed the fact that it was the master password. Sorry. |
