Suddenly stopped asking for master password, cannot connect to servers.

I didn't make any changes to Windows or Thunderbird that I'm aware of, but it just completely stopped working. I have/had it configured with a master password, it always asked before contacting the mail servers. Now it goes straight to the inbox, lets me view my old messages with no password, and refuses to connect to any of 3 accounts.
Windows 8.1
Thunderbird 31.5.0
*Edit: Never mind, I tried using the Wifi through my phone, and even with one bar it's better than the landline. I guess the connection was so bad it wasn't even starting. Works on other network.

FYI: The master password only limits access to your saved passwords. It is not designed to and will not keep anyone from getting to emails already downloaded to your computer. That is not what is is for.

  • How do i get itunes to stop asking for my password repeatedly?

    how do i get itunes to stop asking for my password repeatedly?

    The solution (for me at least) is to keep trying the same password  that I know is correct.  For me, the fourth try of typing in the exact same password works in iTunes on my iMac.  I have repeated this several times, and each time it works.
    I also reset my password, but the same problem occurs in iTunes.  I have to type in my password four times in iTunes to get it to work. 
    iTunes is having issues.  I can log in easily on the first attempt every time to post on this message board and I can sign in easily on my iPad 2 to get app updates, but in iTunes on my iMac it takes four attempts and then it works. 
    Apple needs to release a statement to the public telling people abut this.  For Apple to know that this iTunes problem exists and that it is causing literally thousands of people to be stressed out is callous and uncaring.

  • OEM stopped asking for a password.

    when i open the stand alone Enterprise Manager and then the DB , it logon automatically choosing a particular user., it stopped asking for connection and stoped asking for a user name and a password.
    Any advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, this will occur if you have the checkbox selected to remember the login info as the Preferred Credentials when you log in. You can delete the Preferred Credentials, then you will have to log in manually each time. You will have to check to see if you are relying on the Preferred Credentials for any jobs you may have submitted.

  • How to make Outlook stop asking for a password when you no longer have a valid password?

    Many people have asked how to get Outlook to stop prompting for a password, but the answers given are for people who have a valid password. My question is different. You've graduated from school or left your job. You no longer have access to an Exchange
    server. Within Outlook, you have an historical archive of your emails messages and you need to keep them. You can't send email because you no longer have access to that Exchange server, but you have a local cache of the address book in Outlook, which is valuable
    to you and you want to continue to be able to use.
    How do you keep the account in Outlook but have it stop prompting you for a password in this specific case? Remember, you never will have a valid password to this Exchange server again.

    Well you can manually recover your lost PST password with the command Pst19upg.exe -i filename.psx then press enter. After using this
    command your pst files will be free from password and you can easily again use your outlook files. You can also recover pst password with the assist of pst password recovery tool.

  • Why is my Thunderbird email account suddenly not asking for a password?

    I have shut down my computer and when I go into my email account it for some reason does not asked for my password....Not sure what has happened. Would appreciate any help...

    From the Menu Bar select '''Tools-Options-Security-Passwords-Saved Passwords'''
    Delete the saved password entry and restart Thunderbird.
    No menu bar with Tools? Press the alt key.

  • Thunderbird suddenly started asking for my password, but does not accept it. (Web mail works fine with the same password)

    Thunderbird starting asking for my password. I know the password, just have not been asked for years.
    After typing in password keep getting message
    'Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.intergate.com responded: dmanns logon failed '
    however, I went to Webmail.intergate.com; was redirected to http://email.1dial.com/webmail/Login.aspx.
    Can get email from webmail just fine (same password), just not via Thunderbird.
    Have already run two anti-virus scans. Have deleted the saved passwords and re-entered them as the program asked for them and renamed key.db & signons.sqlite (Read this in a forum on the web) and they rebuilt themselves. Still can not get email via Thunderbird.

    Did you contact your email provider? They may have server issues.

  • My apple tv does not ask for a password after connecting to wifi

    I'm not tech savey at all!! I've just hooked up my apple tv. it connects to wifi but doesn't prompt me for a password. The wifi is password protected. Any ideas?

    Unfortunately as AppleTV does not have a web browser it can't show that webpage to connect.
    Just to be sure I assume this is a webpage with a company name of the wifi supplier for thata area/group of residences asking you to login using some credentials and accept terms and conditions, not a configuration page for a router or similar?
    You might be able to share an internet connection from a computer over ethernet but sometimes the terms of these connections prohibit that.

  • It won't stop asking for my password on start-up!

    I turned it on a while ago but now I can't turn it off and it's rather annoying. I know you go into System Preferences then Security and it should just be a case of unchecking the box next to it, but for some reason whenever I restart it still asks. What's more, I'll go back into System Preferences and it's STILL unchecked!
    After turning it off I always lock the pane but times I come back and it's unlocked. Does anyone know what's going on? Is one of my preference files messed up and, if so, which one do I have to delete to fix it?

    Defining it would help. Check System Preferences->Account->click on the lock, enter your password, click on Login Options, and select automatically log in as->user.

  • My iPad has stopped asking for my apple I'd password when downloading apps.  I want it to ask for password because my kids keep downloading apps without asking.  How do I rectify this?

    My apple I'd has stopped asking for my password when downloading apps to my iPad.  I want it to ask every time.  I edited it unknowingly and I need to change it back.  Please help! Thx

    Assuming that you've got the relevant iOS version on the iPad, then you can change it from a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need to be re-entered to immediately via Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password

  • How to Get Safari to STOP asking for Password

    Whenever I start up Safari for the first time, it annoyingly asks for a password, and I've dismissed this prompt without typing in any passwords, and I've been able to continue doing what I'm doing. But how do I get Safari to stop asking for a password? I've read similar posts but nothing has been asked in exactly this way, as far as I can tell. What I've done:
    - Gone into Keychain Access and deleted the only Safari-related item I find there, called "Safari Forms Autofill." This works temporarily but the password prompt comes back again, and this item appears again in Keychain Access.
    - Gone into Safari Prefs Autofill and made sure Passwords was unchecked; it was.
    Any ideas?

    Aha, I've answered my own question: You have to uncheck the "Other Forms" option in Safari Auto-Fill Prefs as well. Ho ho ho all.

  • Ical wont stop asking for password

    hey guys,
    my iCal will not stop asking for my password and it is driving me nuts, it means i cant use the iCal at all which is very annoying as before it started tripping out i relied heavily upon it.
    is there a fix that anyone knows of out there to stop it asking for the password?
    thanks guys

    Finder > Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access
    Unlock the lock if you have to.
    Click Login in the sidebar.
    Click "Edit" in the Keychain Access menu bar.
    Select "Change Settings for Keychain "login" from the dropdown.
    Uncheck the boxes next to "Lock after" and "Lock when sleeping"
    Click "Save".
    Quit Keychain Access.
    Hope this helps.

  • Trying to link large file to email. keep getting asked for master pw to security device. I have changed master pw on firefox and TB but still same response.

    I have tried over and over to send this large file. I've never synced before so i got that all set up. Then asking for master passwork to security device. Don't think I had ever set up an account so did that and created password. When trying to send the email I ask to link it goes to 'box' and I authorize thunderbird to use use it. then it ask for master password and I type that in and it doesn't work. I have reset master pw for firefox and thunderbird and still can't get it to work. I really don't know what I am doing here so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    In my previous response, I gave a link to this website page:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_password
    It contained some information about what to do if TB keeps asking for a 'Master Password' which was never set. This was an old bug that was resolved years ago, so it is surprising you are getting it assuming the Thunderbird Master Password was never set.
    However, your comments are confusing because they are conflicting; in your question you say:
    '' I have changed master pw on firefox and TB ''
    This implies you set a master password in Thunderbird and changed it, but in last comment you say you never defined it:
    '' I have used the Firefox direction to eliminate the master password, which I never defined in the first place,''
    I'm not sure what you mean by 'I have used the Firefox direction' - perhaps you mean the link I gave. As of course we are not talking about firefox :)
    So, at this point, it is hard to know what you did because you are posting conflicting information.
    Using info at the link, I presume you tried this:
    quote
    ''Thunderbird: Choose Tools -> Error Console, paste the expression: openDialog("chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul") and press the Evaluate button. That will open a dialog asking you if you want to reset your password. ''
    quote
    ''If that doesn't work exit Thunderbird and delete the '''key3.db''' file in your profile.''
    Did you do this? You do not say if you did this.
    At no point does it say uninstall Mozilla Thunderbird program, so I do not know why you would do it. Uninstalling the Program has nothing to do with your Profile for very obvious reasons.
    '''More clearer instructions on how to delete the '''key3.db''' file.'''
    Make hidden files and folders visible:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    The AppData folder is folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".
    Assuming your Profile was stored in the default place, it can be located here:
    * C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\
    Thunderbird must be closed before doing anything in the Profile folders.
    If you have since reinstalled Thunderbird, you can also use it to get quick access to your Profile folders.
    In Thunderbird
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * click on 'show folder' button
    * '''Close/Exit Thunderbird - this is important'''
    * Look for and delete this file : '''key3.db''' file.
    * Restart Thunderbird.
