Hello!

Any help would be much appreciated here;

I LOVE thunderbird. However I am constantly being asked to put in my password while working in Thunderbird. The message box I get says: Please enter the master password for the Software Security Device. I put my passwords in every time, and it will work. A little bit of time goes by and I'm asked AGAIN to put my password in.

Why does it do this? I'd like to turn this feature off if possible. It's really quite annoying....Ha!

Thank you in advance for any support you may be able to offer me.

Sincerely,

Tony
