How to update settings
ATT sent me an email "Hi AT&T/ Yahoo Mail member,
Important update – if you use a mail client (such as Outlook, Thunderbird or a pre-installed mail application) to access your mail on your mobile device or computer, you may need to update your settings. Doing so will ensure you can continue to access your AT&T mail account through that mail client.
AT&T will soon implement a more secure way for customers using these mail clients to login to their AT&T mail service, so it’s important your mail settings are up to date, which will ensure your service is not interrupted." I've been using Thunderbird for lots of years and I'd like to know how to continue to use it with the new security. Thank you.

Under Tools there isn't an options/security/passwords/saved passwords.
Look for Tools on the Menu Bar. Press Alt if the Menu Bar is hidden.
From the 3-bar menu icon, Options/Options...
Thanks, I found the place I need to go but how do I know what's a "secure key"? My accounts all have passwords.
The link in my first reply has instructions for creating the key. It's just another password that satisfies AT&T's security standards.
