My email provider is going thru his annual "Update Your Password"
campaign. I've successfully changed the password on his end.
I can not remember how to reset SeaMonkey's copy of the password.
I can go to
Edit > Preferences > Privacy & Security > Passwords > Password Manager
and display the existing password.
How do I change it? ???????????? ;{
I know I did it last year but can't remember how.
Please help a septuagenarian who is aging ;}
TIA
I think the way to go is to try and retrieve your emails using the old
password.
It will fail, and ask you for the new password.
I think it should then ask you if you want to replace the old with the
new (in Seamonkey).
You can't do it directly in the Password Manager.
That is what I expected to happen.
It *DID NOT*
When I select the account name and then click "Get Msgs" the response is:
Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server ****** responded:
Invalid format for plain response.
Since the last time I used the account [less than 1 hour earlier today],
*nothing* has changed on my end.
My connection sees the other end as a Pop Server using Port 110.
and the password being sent insecurely.
