As a testimony to its popularity, it is currently one of the most popular e-mail clients used around the world.

However, being an e-mail client means that you need to log in using an e-mail and a password.

As we all know, passwords are something we tend to forget most of the time.

How do I recover my Mozilla Thunderbird password?

1. Use the built-in Password Manager

Mozilla Thunderbird comes with a neat feature called Password Manager.

Down to its core, Password Manager is meant to store all of the passwords you’ve entered into the Thunderbird clients, as long as you give it permission.

If you try to access a server in which you don’t have a username or password saved, Thunderbird will prompt you to enter it.

That is where Password Manager will come into the picture, and offer to remember what you’ve entered.
