I had had kludgey access to eternal-september just before making the
post below. Then just now tried to access eternal-september and got a
*DIFFERENT* popup requesting new password. That prompted to look at
SeaMonkey's "Password Manager". There no longer an eternal-september entry.
Entered data in new popup. All _appears_ to work as it had always worked
previously. ??????????! ;/

I use SeaMonkey 2.53.21 on a Debian 12.8 system.
My USENET connection is news.eternal-september.org port 119.
I used it earlier today without problem.
Now it's asking for a new password.

I'm still getting requests for a new password but am retrieving messages
and am able to post. I have asked for further troubleshooting
suggestions on eternal-september.support .
Richard,
Have you told Seamonkey to cache/save your credentials.
I don't remember having done so. I've been using eternal-september for a
long time. How/where would I look?
Mechanically to access eternal-september, I highlight eternal-september
in list in left panel of "Mail & Newsgroup" screen. Then I click the
"Get Msgs" icon in the panel above the screen. Only in the last week or
so has a popup box announcing a login failure and asking for new
password appeared.
If I click "Cancel" to ignore, access to eternal-september seems to be
normal.
I have been assuming that the news server was the problem.
I suspect I have a SeaMonkey problem instead and will ask on
alt.comp.software.seamonkey .
Thank you
You do have to
"sign in" whenever you post or retrieve I think. I use 'pan' and have
it take care of logging in automatically.
