I haven't been able to use Thunderbird for several months now. I get an error message that says login to inbound att.net failed. Enter new password. I enter new password and the same error message comes up. Need help

Remove the passwords from Saved Passwords in Preferences/Privacy & Security, restart TB, enter a secure mail key when prompted for a password. See this page for how to create a key:

I was told to create a a mail key so I won't get an error message to enter a new password. Easier said than done. You people that know computers can probably do it with ease. Why should I be doing that anyway. For years I have had Thunderbird and all of a sudden I can't use it anymore and Thunderbird help is useless. It seems they want to lose people instead of gaining them.
