Easy way to export passwords.

Easy way to export passwords.

I know I can copy each individual username and password, one by one.
Is there a mass export other the using scripts?

I am ver 91.5.1

thanks

Unfortunately the password exporter add-on at https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/th ... er/?src=ss doesn't support recent versions of Thunderbird. Its a legacy add-on.

You could take a screenshot of the Saved Logins dialog.

Menu Bar > Tools > Preferences > Privacy & Security > Saved Passwords

On my computer, Bitdefender blocks the installation of this file, tells me the file has a potential security risk, and then places the file into quarantine.

These types of password recovery tools from small software development companies will always get false positives from antivirus companies.
