Every tutorial for Thunderbird passwords says under tools select options or security. I have neither options or security on my tools tab. How do I change a password if there is no way to access the password manager?

OK, so are you not using Windows?

"Tools|Options" refers to the old fashioned menu across the top, on Windows. On a Mac or Linux computer, it is found under "Edit|Preferences" in that same menu.

If you're using the new menu with the three bar icon, it will be found under "Preferences".

Apparently some articles contained Windows-only instructions for the Account Settings dialog, so thank you for reporting. Some edits have been made to modify this - review will be required to make them live. For the Security entries however, I did not find any wrong ones so I’d like to know which one(s) you referred to.

Of course, feel free to check and report any article that still needs changes.
