Support Start > Email > Setting Up An Email Program > Mozilla Thunderbird > Viewing a Saved Thunderbird Email Password

Customers occasionally ask if there’s any way to view an email password that has been saved in the Thunderbird email program (possibly because they want to enter the same password on a new device, or use it on our webmail pages).

For security reasons, we don’t store the plaintext password on our systems at all, but Thunderbird may have done so.

To see if the password is available:

• Open the Thunderbird preferences window
• Go to the Privacy & Security panel
• Click Saved Passwords...

A new window will appear with a Show Passwords button you can use to view the saved passwords.

Mozilla has a page with information about saved passwords if you want to learn more.
