<blockquote> <font face="Calibri">So a new change in version 78
is that "Thunderbird will now ask for OS account password
before displaying saved passwords". This is akin to a business
or credit card company asking me for my Social Security
Number, in other words, totally unacceptable. This is a deal
killer for me, I'll never update to version 78.0 as long as
this "feature" is in place. <br>

So I though I would see what that was all about. I searched
Bugzilla. Nothing. <br>
A general Google search lists loads of copy and paste pages
parroting the release notes text, but nothing on that expands on
the statement.<br>
Was this a platform or Thunderbird change. I have no idea. <br>
What does it really affect, again I have no idea. It sounds like
yet another thing I will be wanting to disable though!<br>

<p>As Wayne explained it is a platform change.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it only applies to Mac and Windows users at this
time.</p>
