Thunderbird does not ask for password

Hello hi ya' doin',

I'm running Thunderbird 115.7.0 IMAP on a laptop with Win10Home. I also have an iPhone and iPad.

Normally when I open Thunderbird on the laptop it asks for my password, even before I check/send mail. A few days ago it stopped asking for the password, and will check for mail without asking for the password. Sending mail still asks for the password. Mail sends/receives on all devices and on webmail.

How do I get Thunderbird to prompt me for my password when I open the program, or at least before I check for mail?

Access Thunderbird's password vault and delete the stored passwords. See Password Manager - Remember, delete and change passwords in Thunderbird
