For the life of me, using TB 109 beta I cannot find a way to change a password for an email account. All the instructions I find show me an option for change the PW in a non-existant menu option.

Where do I go to change a pw?

Here is my approach: - settings>privacy&security - click 'saved passwords' - click 'show passwords' - highlight both rows for the account in the password matrix - delete both rows.

The password is now gone. The next time you access account, Thunderbird will prompt.
