Enabling LookOut add-on makes Thunderbird ask for the master password multiple times

more options

I am using Thunderbird 52.4.0. After installing the LookOut add-on (ver. 1.2.13), whenever I start Thunderbird, I get multiple dialog boxes requesting the master password. And this behaviour stops immediately after disabling the add-on. The add-on though is working perfectly. Thanks

Thank you Airmail. I have seen that thread but I do not want to use an add-on to manage passwords. Since this is happening only with a particular add-on, I think might be better to tackle it directly. Any such solution?

That is the solution I know of. Good luck fixing it your way.
