Description

[David]

Attachment: Login Issues with Microsoft email addresses.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0

Steps to reproduce:

Had to close and reopen Thunderbird

Actual results:

Once open, I have to put back in passwords to at least 7 of the outlook(live.com email settings)/Hotmail accounts, but it happens with different accounts on not saving password to which I have to reenter the passwords.

Expected results:

Thunderbird should save all passwords once they are put into place.

The Thunderbird version is 115.4.3 (64-bit) and tells me it is up-to-date.

Was it a one time occurrence?

Comment 3

[David]

No, it was not. Any time I need to reboot my computer, this keeps happening. Another point of interest, it happens anytime I have to close and then reopen the program.

(In reply to Wayne Mery (:wsmwk) from comment #4)

David does this still reproduce?

And, what authentication method is set for these accounts?

Comment 6

[David]

I changed computers and that resolved the issue. But the operating system of Windows 11 Home versus Windows 11 Pro may make the differences in the errors that I have been receiving.
This is the only difference that I have found between the two operating systems, but I can reinstall Thunderbird if requested.
