Having searched for answers without success, I come here - hat in hand - [s]asking /sbegging for help.

First, which version of TB should I be running, 32 or 64 bit? Why?

Second, TB continues to vex me with password management. It's my impression that it changes passwords for accounts on its own, although I know that is unlikely if not impossible. Furthermore, it hides where it stores passwords from me. KB articles are no help because they reference menu choices that do not appear in version 114.12.0 64-bit.

Can someone, please, give me instructions for finding and changing passwords in TB. My ISP is sending me messages that PW authentication failed. I finally figured out the navigation to change PWs at my ISP but I cannot find the same in TB. Before you ask, I store my mail account PWs in a PW manager so that I can recall the last used PW when I encounter these problems.

Third, does anyone know if there is a limit in TB on the number of accounts it will manage? I'm having trouble adding accounts despite following the procedures for doing so and receiving confirmation that they have been added; yet they do not appear in the list of accounts in the window at the left of the screen.

64-bit is the current and future. If you have a 64-bit PC, use 64-bit. Otherwise, they are identical in function. AND, I see you are using the beta. As a new user, I recommend that you use the release version (102), as the beta is not compatible with the supported release version. There is no known limit to my knowledge of the number of accounts that TB can manage. If you want to remove the passwords stored by TB, you can do that by these steps: - go to settings>Privacy&security - click 'saved passwords' and then 'show passwords' - highlight both rows for your account and delete them That removes passwords so you can then use the passwords for account. Normally, this is not needed, as TB will return an 'incorrect password' message and prompt for the correct one.
