463240 - Sometimes (connection problems?) TB forgets saved password asking for new one.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 423354

(Thunderbird :: Security, defect)

Description

[Ache]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; MAXTHON 2.0)
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.17

I am sure I have passwords saved for several accounts and TB show them in "Edit saved passwords" dialog right.

But sometimes, I don't know is it connection problem or specific answer from the mail server, TB forget stored password, popping out modal dialog asking for new one. Even if I close that dialog without entering anything, TB keeps to pop it out until I enter exact the same password TB supposed to already have as saved previously.

I.e. under some connection-related conditions, perhaps password failures, TB forgets saved passord, which is completely wrong because password failures can be related to server maintenance etc.

I see that bug for both POP and IMAP type accounts. Please fix this annoying bug.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save password.
2. Access gmail acc in the time their server restarted or something like.
3. Get your saved password cleared with annoying modal dialog asking for new one.
