1685877 - Still getting dual password requests in MacOS after "fix" in 85.0b3

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Security, defect)

Description

I am still getting 2 password requests when TB starts up in MocOS Mojave.
This is despite the "fix" in bug 1664016

I figured out how to get profile manager to start, and made a new profile, and set a master password, and it is only asked for once.
But, I really want to use my old profile since I have about 10 imap accounts, and am not sure how to set them all up again!
Using my old profile still causes 2 password requests, so there is still a bug somewhere. Users should not have to recreate their profiles!

You mean the pref from bug 1610390? Well that's still off for mac since it doesn't work on mac.

Comment 3

[James Rome]

Yes. I was told to file a new bug.

For me this went away around 78, but is now back in 102. Thunderbird displays one password prompt then immediately removes it, displays another which I complete, and then another, which I complete again. Then it seems happy.

Running latest macOS Mojave.

Also happened to me again today. Thunderbird version 102. On MacOS 11.6.7 since my machine is a late 2013 Macbook Pro which will no longer run the latest OS version. I've been left in the dust.

also seeing this again. I have to time my master password entry just right so that I can type it in without another dialog coming up in the middle of typing.

looks like duplicate: bug 1772580

Comment 8

A quick method of forcing the dialog to allow typing is cmd+tab to another application, and tab back again to Thunderbird

Just restarted macOS and left the initial MP prompt (see bug 1778922 for white bg) sitting there for a while. When I checked I had three prompts. Is that the right place to mention that?
I usually fill the MP prompt right away and don't have the problem of multiple pw prompts anymore.

Also with 102.1.2 ?

Comment 14

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

James are you still seeing this issue?

Comment 15

[Doug Hockin]

I'm still seeing 3 logins on TB 102.1.2 on MacOS 11.6.8.

Comment 16

[Brian L. Matthews]

As far as I can tell, no change with 102.1.2, still seeing the multiple prompts.

I have the same problem with Thunderbird 102.1.2 (and some versions bevor) on Mac OS 10.14.6.
When I start Thunderbird it ask the main-password for every Email-Account that will synchronize at stat up.

Comment 18

[James Rome]

I gave up and removed my password

Comment 19

[Doug Hockin]

Just installed TB 102.2.0 and the multiple password problem is fixed for me. MacOS 11.6.8.

Comment 20

[spacetracer]

Thanks, Thunderbird 102.2.0 fix this Problen on Mac OS 10.14.6.

Comment 21

[Brian L. Matthews]

Fixed for me as well on Thunderbird 102.2.0 and Mac OS 10.14.6. I am curious though why this bug was resolved WORKSFORME and not FIXED?

We only use FIXED when we know what patch fixed the issue.
