I had to change my Google account and therefore my Gmail password due to a reported security breach. I've successfully changed my password for Gmail on my iPhone and iPad but I can't on T'Bird.

I expected that when I opened T'Bird, I'd get an error message saying my password was invalid and then prompting me to enter the new password for my Gmail account. That's the way it used to work and it worked well.

Instead, I get some sort of useless error message about STAT (??) and my credentials are invalid. I get no prompt to enter the now changed password. I get no info as to WHAT credentials aren't valid.

So I opened the Password Manager, found the Gmail line, entered Show Passwords and then edit password. I entered the new password, double checked it and closed out the Password Manager. I get the same useless message about STAT. The old password was *not* the Gmail password.

I opened the Password Manager to find the password is entered correctly. Why is this simple operation so miserably difficult? The old method worked perfectly every time now this one won't at all.

Google needs to assign a new OAUTH2 password, since you changed the password. Thunderbird only stores the OAUTH2 password that Google places into the appropriate place. I suggest you remove the existing password so that Google will be prompted to authorize a new secure password.

Note: This is a Google requirement, not one by Thunderbird.

Thank you David. Sorry I was late in replying but for some odd reason, gmail stuck the notification in spam.

Prior to seeing I had a reply, I somewhat automatically solved the problem by clicking +New Message in T'Bird which got Gmail to prompt me for the new password.
