How do I change my thunderbird password?

My email was comprimised and I was told to change my password; also it said it is helpful to also use a master password. I think someone is reading my email and I want to change my password again but have been unable to accomplish this.
I have canceled my master password...all good.
I am now trying to reset my personal email password through through my options tool bar; deleting it on my "saved passwords" has not worked because it then gives me no option to create a new password. I believe I am an "end user"; could this have something to do with this problem? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Stop looking -- there simply isn't a place to enter a new password in the Thunderbird application. Instead, Thunderbird will prompt you for a new password when it discovers that one is required.
When you review your Thunderbird Account Settings (Tools->Account Settings) you will NOT find a typical "Password" field to fill in. If you wish, you can view your stored passwords by selecting Tools->Options->Security->Passwords->Saved Passwords->Show Passwords.
Thunderbird will automatically prompt you for your new password once it tries to authenticate with your mail server and it discovers that your password has changed. The easiest way to trigger this process is to send yourself a quick test email. Thunderbird will try to send the email, it will fail, then it will finally ask you for your new password. You will see a pop up dialog "Login Failed" with an "Enter New Password" button. Click that button, enter your new password then click OK. Mystery solved.

  • How do I change my wireless password on Apple  Airport extreme

    How do I change the wireless password on my Apple Airport extreme?

    On your Mac......
    Click the Finder icon (that smiley face on the left side of the dock)
    Open Applications
    Open Utilities
    Open AirPort Utility
    Click on the picture of the AirPort Extreme, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
    Edit / backspace out the current Wireless Password entry
    Do the same to Verify the new password
    It might be a good idea to write down the new password and store the info in a safe place
    Click Update in the upper right corner of the window and allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart

  • I have a MAC, Apple TV and wifi.  My ex gave my neighbor the password and now I want to change the password.  How do I change my Wifi password so I don't mess up my Apple TV?

    I have a MAC, Apple TV and wifi.  My ex gave my neighbor the password to my wifi and now I want to change the password so she can't access my network any more.  How do I change my Wifi password so I don't mess up my Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't do that, you'll need to change the password on your Wi-Fi and then change the settings on the Apple TV to log into your network again using the new password.

  • How do I change my keychain password on my iMac?

    Currently my login password and my keychain password are the same in OSX 10.9.1.  For additional security, how do I change my keychain password so that it is different from my login password?

    don't think that's possible your login if you are administrator on the computer is what goes in the keychain too
    if you want to give access to people to the computer whom you do not trust with the keychain access then you should consider making user accounts for them with the rights you choose

  • HT4865 How do I change my icloud password

    I wanna know how can I change my icloud password ?

    1. Before doing anything, turn off 'Find my iPhone/iPad/Mac' on any devices it's enabled on.
    2. Sign out of iCloud on all your devices. On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'. On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server). Your iCloud-synced data will disappear from your device. If offered the opportunity to save it on your Mac, don't.
    3. Go to http://appleid.apple.com, sign in and click 'Password & Security' in the sidebar. Answer the security questions, if set, and then click 'Edit' next to the password field. Save.
    4. Sign back in on all your devices. Your data will re-appear (give it time). You can now re-enable 'Find My...'.
    5. I reiterate, before your start, turn off 'Find My...' or you will probably need the services of Support.

  • HT5624 How do I change my iCloud password WITHOUT changig my apple id password

    How do I change my iCloud password WITHOUT changig my apple id password

    Your iCloud login is an Apple ID. You can change the password at http//appleid.apple.com by logging in with the same ID and clicking 'Password and Security' in the sidebar.
    This will change the password for anywhere else you log in with the same ID, such as here or in iTunes. If you log into either with a different ID the password will not change there, but you can't separate the passwords for any places which have the same login as iCloud.
