See in Options->Security->Passwords ->Saved passwords, whether the passwords are really lost (empty display). Or if they are there, just TB is not using them for authentication to the servers.

Comment 5

[Stefan Gies]

The passwords were present. The password database was migrated without any modifications. The migration from 31.1.1 to 31.1.2 was without problems.

So the passwords are there, it's just not using them?

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
If it is a bug, at this late date, is there anything we can do?
