If you are a Mozilla Thunderbird user and haven’t heard of the ThunderbirdPassDecryptor yet, it’s time you do. It is the free tool to help recover your Thunderbird mail account passwords.

How it’s done: Thunderbird is a free, open-source, cross-platform application for managing email and news feeds. Like other e-mail clients, it also stores the mail account passwords on the local system for subsequent logins so that user don’t have to type the password everytime. In fact, Thunderbird uses the same mechanism as Firefox to store its e-mail account passwords securely in a file called ‘signons.sqlite’ at its profile location. It uses its own private mechanism with encryption algorithm to store the account details securely in the account database file. If you wish to retrieve any of the above, ThunderbirdPassDecryptor can come in handy, helping you ‘instantly recover’ such stored mail account passwords and also get complete account access details.
