Please consider allowing a password to be assigned for the desktop version of Thunderbird (NOT for other programs in Thunderbird's Password Manager). I have had my primary email account (cityguy08@yahoo.com) hacked several times. I change the password on a regular basis but once I started using Thunderbird instead of Firefox I have no way to protect my email with a password or using Password Manager. I use the latest version of Windows 10. You have excellent security for Firefox. Please extend some level of security for Thunderbird. Thank you. Stuart
