1667095 - Password asked every time an address is entered

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Security, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.123 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Have an account which requires authentication for all actions: POP, IMAP, SMTP, Calendar (WebCal), LDAP (Addressbook), HTTPS (RSS-Feeds).

Actual results:

Thunderbird will ask for a password:

• IMAP (username field filled with stored username, password field empty -- even if username and passoword is given)
• SMTP (only password is asked -- it is asked regardless it is stored or not)
• Calendar (only password is asked -- it is asked regardless it is stored or not)
• HTTPS (only password is asked -- it is asked regardless it is stored or not)
• LDAP (only password is asked -- it is asked for every connection made to the same ldap-server)

Expected results:

If username/password is stored it should be taken. If the password is wrong thunderbird should ask for a new one and invalidate any stored password connected to this username.
