That's two separate forums, and Mozilla really doesn't have any connection to GetSatisfaction. Thunderbird isn't maintained by Mozilla any longer, it's a "community" project now-a-days, just like SeaMonkey is a maintained by the "community".

You should use the Password Manager to remember your passwords for the various website you use, that's what it is for. Plus, unless you're using a character in your username or password that one forum or another doesn't allow, there's no reason you can't use the same username and password for all of them.

Personally, I use the-edmeister and the same password on at least 8 different forums with no problems. I use the-edmeister as my username in 4 different email portals, too, the only one I can't is with Gmail as they didn't allow hypens or underscores as a character for the username when I signed up for that account years ago. Same password for all those email accounts, but more characters than for support forum logon's for greater security.

Wha...wha...what?This is the first I heard about the divorce. mozilla.com has a link for Thunderbird which takes you to mozillamessaging.com along with other pages dealing with Thunderbird but nothing obvious that says they have gone their separate ways.

I can use the same password but some one must have beaten me to the user name. Of course I can use the same password but I still have different usernames.
