1876929 - Add quick link in Account Settings to Passwords.

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, enhancement)

Description

[Anje]

Over the years, I have come across many people who do not know where to locate their stored passwords.
It would seem that the majority of these people automatically go to 'Account Settings' when they need to eg: alter a saved password.

Therefore, I'm requesting an enhancement.
In 'Account Settings'
Bottom of left pane is 'Thunderbird Settings' which is actually just another link to 'Settings'. The word 'Thunderbird' being superflous and it does not imply Security or Passwords.
It would be very helpful if there was a more obvious link to locate 'Stored Passwords'.
It's important to use the word 'Password' in the clickable link/button.
The clickable button should auto open 'Settings > Privacy & Security > and have focus on 'Passwords' section and display 'Saved Passwords' button.

One user in Support Forum asked for this:

Add a prominent "change password" link on the accounts settings page

I would have thought we already had a bug on this, but didn't find one.
