Thunderbird can remember your username and password and store them in the password manager. If you try to access a server for which you don't have a username or password saved, Thunderbird will prompt you to enter it and offer to remember what you've entered.

How to view saved passwords

  1. At the top of the window, click the menu icon Fx89menuButton and then select Settings.
  2. In the Settings tab that opens, type pass in the search field. Thunderbird searches as you type, so the settings shown will change with each new letter typed.
    Preferences Passwords
  3. Then click Saved Passwords…
  • To see the passwords you have saved, click Show Passwords. When you close the window, your passwords will be automatically hidden.
  • Use the search box to find a particular account or username. Click Firefox_Settings Fx101_Clear search icon in the search field to clear your search and see the full list again.
