ISP passwords, as distinct from "retail" ones

I used to understand this stuff, but have now aged out (at 91) and am totally lost. In the old days, starting with the 3-bar menu symbol, there was a path to reach the place where Thunderbird stored the passwords needed to get access to one's ISP accounts. If that still exists, I can't now find it.

I have a new Dell laptop that I am trying to activate. Comcast does not accept the PWs (that I have written down), so I want to find them on this older machine where they still work. Following TB's instructions, the expected "Saved Passwords" box does not appear; instead we get "Saved Logins". "Logins" is apparently a synonym for what I might call "retail" passwords, used to access bank, vendor, &c accounts, but these are distinct from network-access accounts. (In general, I think TB fails to distinguish adequately between the two password categories, but that's another question.)

So the question is: how do I get access to the ISP passwords stored on this old, working, machine, so I can use them on the new one?

I am using 115.3.2 on win11.

That same three bar menu > settings and search for pass. Then click on the saved passwords button.
