Since moving from SM 1.1.18 to SM 2.0.13, I find my password manager
only remembers (lists) two from those over 25 saved.
Where may I find the other 23+ and how may I access them from my menu
bar in 2.0.13?
Thanks,

First, open Tools->Password Manager->Manage Stored Passwords; select
Show Passwords and enter your Master, and verify that your passwords are
actually gone if you haven't done so. SM 2.0.x has this annoying habit
of making you actually click in the entry field to actually fill in the
data - which is great if you have multiple logins for the same page, not
so great if you don't. And this behavior is not always consistent from
web page to web page, as I've observed it...but I don't think that's
SM's fault.
If you passwords are actually gone you can use this info from the SM
Help page site:
http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/profilefaq/
to try and restore them -
"Saved password data
Importing Firefox (or Thunderbird) passwords is a little tricky, and
you'll need to make Windows show file extensions. When you first use the
password manager, SeaMonkey will create a new file with an *.s extension
and give it a name of 8 random digits (For example 12345678.s). First
use the password manager in SeaMonkey at least once, so SeaMonkey
creates an *.s file. Then go to Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy &
Security -> Passwords, and check mark "Use encryption when storing
sensitive data." Close both SeaMonkey and Firefox (or Thunderbird), and
copy the files key3.db and signons.txt from your Firefox (or
Thunderbird) profile to your SeaMonkey profile. You should be asked
whether or not you want to replace the key3.db file already in your
SeaMonkey profile. Choose "Yes". Next, copy the name of the *.s file,
delete the file, and rename signons.txt to the name of your *.s file."
So - find your old Profile (which shouldn't have been touched in the
upgrade) and locate the "########.s" file within it; make a duplicate,
and rename that file to the name of that same file in your new SM 2.0.13
Profile - then move/replace the default file there with this one.
I think I've done this in the past without replacing the key3.db file
and it worked, but that might have been that I used the same Master
Password in each case. If the above does not work also then replace the
key3.db file as well.
