http://askubuntu.com – I haven't used thunderbird for a while but when i started to use it again I found out that i have to give the application driven password since i'm using gmail. So i types that application password which is automatically given by the google, but it asks for that every time i try to login. it's really frustrating, to obtain that password i have to go to goodle account settings everytime i login in thunderbird (HowTos)

Stories similar to Thunderbird keeps asking me for the password every time I login

I'm using thunderbird-11 on ubuntu 12.04. Recently after an update suddenly thunderbird is no longer able to recognize my password and keeps asking for it with the message "login failed - retry". I know my password is correct because my calendar in thunderbird which uses the same password and my webmail is able to take that password.

I am trying to setup my Gmail with Thunderbird. I put in the details, the imap and smtp settings were filled in automatically. They were correct I checked.

Initially when I clicked on done, to create a new account, Thunderbird gave an alert telling me either the username or password is invalid. However, it was not.

Every time I log in into Ubuntu a window comes titled "Unlock Login Keyring" and asks for some password. The problem is when I enter my password it doesn't accepts it.

What is login keyring? If it isn't asking about my user account password then which password is it asking about? I don't want to come it everytime I login. How do I make it go away?

I changed my password a few months ago from the password I first used when I installed Ubuntu on my machine.

I reset the password for sa for ms sql 2008 R2.

I can login using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio with the account sa with the new password.

However, when I go to update the servers (sharepoint) that uses the account, they get bad login (bad password) for sa.

I have tried multiple different ways to reset the sa password and restart the service, but so far no luck.

Why is it still giving

Can't login to account 33 weeks 5 days ago

Thanks in advance for any help. Ubuntu 12.04

Up until recently my mother has been using the Guest Session when she logs on; now, the Guest Session will not login.

Thunderbird can be configured to work seamlessly with Google's Gmail service. Messages are synchronized between your local version of Thunderbird and the web-based Gmail.

Configuring your Gmail account To configure Thunderbird to work with Gmail, first enable IMAP on your Gmail account. See Gmail's instructions for help.

Yesterday evening I changed my password, using: Systems Settings >> User Accounts

But, this morning my new password is not accepted. In trying other solutions, I tried my old password which still allowed me to login.

Please can anyone give me reason why this happen, and how I can stop this happening?

I just installed Ubuntu and after some struggles I have a GUI! However, on startup, it won't accept my password. Some more info:

I set it to "Login automatically" during install. During the install I defined 3 things: Name (First Last), Login (one short string), and Password. In the terminal, I can log in, and it asks for 2 things: First Login, then Password.
