Key notes
Mozilla Thunderbird is atop-notch emailclient, news client, RSS, and chat client that is most famous because it is free and open-sourced.
However, being an email client means you must log in using an email and a password. Unfortunately, as we all know, we tend to forget passwords most of the time.
If you forgot your Thunderbird password, we will show you the best recovery method to get it back in this guide.
How to recover a forgotten Thunderbird password?
There are two known methods to recover a forgotten Mozilla Thunderbird password. These methods are listed below:
Where is Thunderbird’s password stored?
The Thunderbird password location is not the most difficult to find. Provided you ask the app to remember your password, it will be stored in the Password Manager.
You can find this under the Privacy and Security section of the app’s settings.
How can I perform Thunderbird password recovery?
1. Use the built-in Password Manager
The first method to use if you want to perform Thunderbird password recovery is to check the password manager. However, this requires you to have the app logged in on your PC.
But if you don’t have access to the app, proceed to the next solution.
2. Use a Thunderbird password recovery tool
If you are logged out of the Thunderbird app and need to recover your password, your only option is to use a specialized password recovery tool.
While you can use a series of tools, we recommend using a top-notch app likePassware Kit basic. This tool decrypts the password of the Thunderbird app and restores access to your account.
