Password asked several times

Post by user2018 »

I have the last version of Thunderbird (102.0.3 (64-bit)) on MacOS. When I start Thunderbird, I am asked the master password in several windows. Is this normal? I remember using before the add-on StartupMaster (https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/th ... tupmaster/), but the webpage of that add-on indicates that "at last the multiple password requests in TB have been fixed in version 78+".

Is it still needed or maybe there is something wrong with my configuration?

No, its not normal. I suggest you remove the master password, exit, restart, and then add it again. Removing the master password clears the password cache so you will get asked for the passwords again.
