Master Password Cannot Be Entered

Post by baumgrenze »

Something I did this afternoon has changed the long familiar behavior of SeaMonkey, a browser I adopted when Netscape Navigator finally threw in the towel.

All I did was to run some of Seagate's SeaTools on a data drive which had nothing to do with my boot drive and program files where my SeaMonkey profile. The 'Long Generic' took hours. I avoided 'Fix All' and 'Advanced Tests' on principle.

Since then the Master Password Required dropdown keeps opening and refuses to accept any keystrokes.

Might the solution be as simple as reinstalling the latest SM?

Help/About tells me I am here:

User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 SeaMonkey/2.49.3
Build identifier: 20180412182658

What is weird is that my Yahoo Mail updates without requiring a password. I had to get a new PW to use this board.

I hate the thought of having to set all new PW for forums, etc, if it it is not necessary.

thanks,

Blush!!!

Somehow I hit the NumLock key. Once I turned on NumLock everything works as it should.

Thanks for considering my question.
