Thunderbird keeps asking for ALL my passwords EVERYTIME and they are saved in Thunderbird
As the question reads: Thunderbird keeps asking me for ALL my passwords everytime I open Thunderbird and sometimes inbetween.
All my passwords are entered correctly as per my mail servers and all the passwords are saved. I asked Thunderbird to remember them all and Thunderbird has a list of passwords recorded in the Tools >>Options >>Security >>Passwords >>Save Passwords. There are no mistakes there.
Because Thunderbird kept asking for the passwords, I entered a Master Password. This did not solve my problem. Instead, now I have one more password to enter. I eventually removed the Master Password again as it really serves no purpose.
If this would help at all: The laptop is an HP655 running on Windows 8 and using Thunderbird 24.6.0.
My other laptop is an Acer E1-531 also running on Windows 8 and Thunderbird 24.6.0 - I have no problems here with passwords being asked all the time.
Maybe it is the HP655?
Can you please assist me? This is very frustrating and your help will be much appreciated.

Read this article to understand what the master password is all about.

Try to delete the passwords Thunderbird has remembered. Make sure to check the option to remember it the next time you're prompted for the password.
Do one at a time, so you can keep track if this has any effect.

Thunderbird keeps asking for my gmail password - is this a virus?
Each time I open Thunderbird, and sometimes in the middle of working, Thunderbird displays this dialog box: "Please log into your Google Account below using your full e-mail address. Your password won't be stored. Click Cancel to login later."
Thunderbird still functions, although maybe I don't have access to my full contact list? Is this a TB dialog box? Will entering my PW fix it?
Thank you!gContactSync synchronizes contacts & groups between Thunderbird and Google Contacts.
I'm not using this extension, however, you'll need to grant permission for the extension to access your Google Contacts once. If you haven't done that yet, the password prompt is most likely coming from the extension.
You can verify this by disabling gContactSync in the Add-on Manager. Restart Thunderbird and verify if you get the password prompt. If not, then you know it's the extension.
If you don't use the extension at all simply uninstall it. -
I got a £25 iTunes gift card for my birthday and I have tried to redeem it but it is not working. I don't know if it's not activated but there is no message saying that the card is not inactive and I have checked all the letters and numbers and I have entered them correctly. When I enter the code it asks me to enter my iTunes account password I do that and then it just brings up the box to enter the password again over and over again... Hope someone can help! Thanks!

POP3 -Keep asking for user name & Password
Hi,
We have exchange 2003 server with Service pack 2. We have user who check their mails through Outlook 2003, Outlook web access & some users are using POP3 to download the messages.
Since last few weeks, we are getting the complained that when engineers are trying to configured users account in Outlook with POP3 configuration, its keep asking for user name & password. But with same user name & passwords user is able to check their mail through Outlook web access.
In some of our site, users are able to download messages through pop3 account but this account was configured long back.
Kindly advise.HI,
This is happening mainly when
1. user changed his password through Outlook web access next time its keep poping up for password & it will not accept the new passord.
2. if user is using OWA & when we try to configured his mail in Outlool with POP3 .
See if i remove exchange attributes from user's account & then delete the users from AD & Recreated with same user name, Password & reconnected to that user to his old mailbox, it;s work fine.
Regards,
Chetan
POP3 is enabled by default for all the users. -
My brand new Mac ProBook keeps asking for an admin password to download Adobe Flash Player
My brand new Mac ProBook (OSX Mavericks 10.9.4) keeps asking for an admin password to download Adobe Flash Player and also when I try to set up adding my printer. The problem is that when I initially set up this new laptop--I opted to not have any password upon login. So what is my admin password that it keeps requesting??--that "I" did not create??
I have heard that Adobe Flash Player and Apple OS & iOS do NOT care much for each other.
Now half of Youtube videos would NOT play and many websites would NOT show on my Mac computer.
This is absolutely rediculous!
Because of the unfair monopoly, I have switched from Microsoft Windows PC to Apple Mac system a few years ago.
Is it a MUST and worthy for corporations to compete each other by screwing up customers like this?
What a shame!
Big things have small beginnings and so do big failures!
I think I will delay the idea of buying any more OS or iOS products until I can easily watch all the Youtube videos and browse all the websites! -
Why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?
why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?
Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access. -

Keeps asking for my hotmail password and saying its wrong stopped recieving mail
keeps asking for my hotmail password and have stopped recieving mail
Mail asks for your password when it cannot contact the Server. It presumes [usually incorrectly] you told it the wrong password, and asks for a better one. The one you enter replaces the one that is stored.
But often the reason it cannot connect is that the Mail Server holding your emails is temporarily DOWN.
Ignore those requests and take that account Online again later.
(You may have to re-enter the password, because it often clobbers your good password with the one you enter, and sometimes does not store ANY password after that stupid dialog box.) -

my itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions. they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc. don't know why it won't let me download
Ever find a real solution to this? I just posted something similar - been having the issues ever since I started using the mac.
I have 5 mac accounts: 2 of those are admins.
After I installed every program I may possibly want, I redid all my user accounts (as I had been having a lot of permissions issues before that). My (admin) account downloads fine. Another admin account, set up exactly as mine, periodically gets prompted that it doesn't have the right to download.
To avoid duplication, I have a /common/music directory for all itunes accounts music. We have to periodically do a recursive permissions deal on the 2nd admin account so it can put music there, even though that directory is read/write for everyone. Apple's never been able to help me on this... -

after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before.
