What's the fix for this? I'm not sure if the system-generated password has a limited lifetime, or if it can be used indefinitely. Note: I can use the *SAME* system-generated password repeatedly (so far), but T-bird doesn't seem to save it - even if I check the "save in password manager" option. But this seems to only work for a limited time before the pop-ups resume. OK so I generated a system password as AOL requires, entered it into T-bird, and this allowed T-bird to send/receive email from the AOL/Verizon accounts. I am having a continual problem with Thunderbird and her AOL/Verizon accounts which does not occur with her Gmail account.Īs some of you may know, AOL/Verizon will not allow T-bird access to email accounts using the normal browser password - AOL requires usage of a system-generated password for 3rd party apps such as T-bird (when I tried to plug in her usual password to send/receive email into T-bird it was flat-out rejected). I've been helping her to install and run the release version of Thunderbird to get her away from the Beta version she was on. I am writing on behalf of my friend, who you have all been chatting with about these issues.
