Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 338549

(Thunderbird :: Security, defect)

Description

[David Gibbs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 GTB6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070604 Thunderbird/2.0.0.4 Mnenhy/0.7.5.0

I'm seeing similar behavior ... I have my accounts secured with a master
password.

. I launch TB 3.0
. A modeless dialog opens asking me for the master password.
. Main window opens
. Another, modal, dialog asking me for the master password opens ... this one
is tied to the main window.

The first password dialog seems to be associated with other mail and/or
calendar accounts, although I'm not 100% sure.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade from TB 2, with master password set, to TB 3 (not sure if this is related)
2. Launch TB 3

Actual Results:  
2nd password dialog is displayed

Expected Results:  
Only one password dialog

This bug should not be closed.  I'm using TB 3.1.2. on XP SP-3.  When I first open TB, master pwd dialogue appears.  I correctly type it, hit OK.  My entry clears, cursor returns to the far left edge of the box and I need to re-type my master pwd and hit OK again.  This happens 100% of the time and has been happening for months.  

My only add-ons are CompactHeader and ThunderPlunger.  I do not even know what "lightning" is and have never knowingly loaded it or used it.

Yes Ludovic, news.eternal-september.org requires "authentication" each time I connect to the usenet groups I read at that site.  Thanks for the information.  Sorry to have placed my comment with the wrong bug.  Unfortunately, there are so many of them that a non-techie such as myself gets lost every time I attempt to do research or contribute on bugzilla.
