Double simultaneous password request

[igi]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

After latest updates in my Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx beta2 installation, when opening Thunderbird two password requests are opened simultaneously.
I use a master password to authorize access to my emails etc.

problem persists with build 2006082107 under windows xp and thunderbird 1.0.5

[David-lowkey (david-lowkey)]

I'm also experiencing this. In Thunderbird 1.5 and Thunderbird 2 alpha 1 (20060724), using both Lightning 0.3 release, and Lightning 0.4a1 (2006120103) on XP.

[Mschroeder-mozilla (mschroeder-mozilla)]

Confirmed per comment#3.

[Fritz Heinrichmeyer (fritz-heinrichmeyer)]

bug again visible with recent lightning 0.7pre daily build

[Jalonsom-hotmail (jalonsom-hotmail)]

Same here with TB version 2.0.0.14 (20080421) and Lightning 0.8

Password shouldn't be required by both, as Lightning can use the Thunderbird password, It is easy to check:

- Deactivate Lightning
- Restart TB
- Activate Lightning
- Restart TB

Now the password is only asked once.

Next time you start TB, It will ask you twice.....

Just a guess: I have the impression that Lightning does not wait for TB to ask the password, and issues a request for password. That request should be queued, and correcly handled.

[Philipp-bugzilla (philipp-bugzilla)]

Does this issue also happen on trunk? I believe something about the master password dialog changed that makes it not show twice.

[Alessio (alessio-fattorini)]

Same problem, with lightning on Win/Macosx/Linux
Any ideas? It's a very very tiresome bug!
It will ask you user/pass random, it seems happen every reload.

[Mozilla-iiegn (mozilla-iiegn)]

for me the combination of

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20090127 Shredder/3.0b2pre

and

Lightning1.0pre (that was a somewhat current nightly build - sorry for not being more specific but i can't find any more details on the version...)

still shows this behavior, i.e. when lightning is enabled and the calendar passwords are protected by a master password the master password is asked multiple times; i'd say as many times as passwords are 'needed' by lightning.

[Fritz Heinrichmeyer (fritz-heinrichmeyer)]

after creating a new profile with new shredder two days ago and fresh lightning nightly and using google-data-provider i also suspect lightning for unnecessary asking for password.

If i deinstall the calendar extension master password is only required once per session.

[Fritz Heinrichmeyer (fritz-heinrichmeyer)]

this report comes a little late because first i forgot to setup a master password on the new profile.

Do you have multiple e-mail accounts? IMAP or POP?

google-data-provider = Google CalDAV?

[Ricky-burg (ricky-burg)]

I'm also experiencing this issue with trunks of Thunderbird and Lightning as of the date of posting this comment. I have a master password enabled. This issue DOES NOT occur without Lightning. I have remote calendar services, which are fetched via password protected FTP of which the credentials are stored by Thunderbird.

Not only that, but the prompt for a password reappears whenever Lightning tries to resync the calendar from the remote location, even though the password is saved. Highly irritating.

[Philipp-bugzilla (philipp-bugzilla)]

*** Bug 468036 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Philipp-bugzilla (philipp-bugzilla)]

This is probably a joint effort. I think some sort of static variable needs to be set when the password is asked for that we can check for and then let the code block until the asking is done.

While unfortunate, I'm not sure if this should block 1.0 yet.

[Dkroot2 (dkroot2)]

I am using Google Calendar with Google Calendar Provider extension. This problem started to occur to me as a regression when I upgraded from Tb 2/Lightning 0.9 to Tb 3.0 beta 2/Lightning nightly (2009-03-27). I get 3 password prompts. When Lightning is disabled I get 1 prompt.

[Fritz Heinrichmeyer (fritz-heinrichmeyer)]

IMO this bug is not triggered by lightning but by google data provider, but this is the only provider i use apart from the default provider.
When this provider is activated even without an active calendar, there is an error in error console (at the end of this comment). I am asked for a password within a half drawn password dialog. Then navigating to calendar is only possible after the following workaround:

1. open adressbook from extra menu
2. close main window
3. from addressbook extra menu open thunderbird again.
I posted this recently as a comment for a closed bug #473973.

I have to enter the master password for every calendar I have subscribed to although I do not use the google data provider. I am not seeing the given error messages either.

[Philipp-bugzilla (philipp-bugzilla)]

I agree this is annoying, but from what I've heard, its nearly impossible to fix this from calendar side without very evil hacks. Therefore we shouldn't block the release on it.

It would be very nice to find out the exact reasoning though and find out if maybe we can fix this in toolkit/core or thunderbird.

[Mschroeder-mozilla (mschroeder-mozilla)]

Fritz, do you have two master password dialogs shown at the same time. Maybe the stacked, and you have to move the topmost dialog.

Bug 348997 and its depending/blocking bugs are the reason for this behavior. The code is in Core:Security, and at the moment there is no workaround available for Lightning/Thunderbird.

[Fritz Heinrichmeyer (fritz-heinrichmeyer)]

there are no dialogs stacked. But i also have since a long time the problem of javascript errors mentioned in my Comment #18 that seem to occur only in my special case (until release of lightning 1.0, then there will be a lot of reports of this kind) and i tend to use more and more outlook/evolution for calendar and email integration.

i have - and have been having for quite a while - with trunk TB&Lightning: /all/ my passwd dialogs show up. at the moment this are 8 windows of which i can focus 6 - two are /not/ responsive until i close the others (don't know how long /this exact/ behavior has been around, though).

...that's a bummer!

[Mozilla-iiegn (mozilla-iiegn)]

sorry, this is not relevant for the bug but might help some people: /forcing/ the installation of the StartupMaster Add-on (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/9808) on current TB&Lightning nighties seems to work and cuts down the master password prompts - for me from 8 - to two.

[Jon (jonathan-semczyk)]

Same here with Thunderbird+Lightning nigthlies (august 26, 2009).

Thanks for this StartupMaster extensions, works fine under FF 3.5.2, but does'nt work on my Shredder, I still have my 6 popups, one for each calendar, we here use Zimbra as the CalDav server, I access 6 shared calendars, all with the same login/password.

[David Ward (dpward)]

Whoops, my bad... when I recompiled Thunderbird and Lightning with the patch applied, and replaced the old Thunderbird with the new one, I forgot to actually install Lightning...so naturally I only saw the one master password prompt. :-P Sorry about that, doesn't seem to be quite fixed yet.

However, Fritz, the message you mentioned in the error console also appears when Lightning is not installed, so I don't believe that is related.

The behavior after applying that patch is that upon opening Thunderbird, only one master password entry dialog appears at first. After entering the password there, the second prompt for the master password then appears along with the following dialog box:

   An error occurred during a connection to mail.gatech.edu:443.
   The operation failed because the PKCS#11 token is not logged in.
   (Error code: sec_error_token_not_logged_in)

(The hostname above refers to my Zimbra server running CalDAV.)

Not related to Lightning. See Bug 510378 Comment #5.

I have the same problem.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090915 Lightning/1.0pre Thunderbird/3.0b4

TB+Lightning => TB prompts twice for the master password.
Uninstalling Lightning addon an restart => TB prompts only once (correct)
Installing Lighting addon again => TB prompts twice again.

So my conclusion: this behavior is due to Lightning addon.

With Google Calendars from two different accounts installed I get two extra prompts for a Master Password in addition to the original prompt for my email accounts.

I also do experence two master password prompts. So far nothing new, just like comment 35.

But did you notice: It does not matter what I enter in the second prompt. Keeping it empty or just hitting some key works fine to get rid of it.

The master password addon mentioned earlier does not work for me (when tricked to install anyway)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091017 Lightning/1.0pre SeaMonkey/2.0

The error occurred, also in the combination of Seamonkey 2,0 & Lightning1.0pre.

I have 4 ICS calendars via ftp, protected by the master password of Seamonkey. A normal master-password-inquiry when starting of Seamonkey, afterwards 4 x password inquiry of Lightning.
The inquiry repeats itself in the rhythm, how those is adjusted calendar actualization interval. The password is reserved. I must confirm only each time 4 x.

This patch reduces the number of password prompts to 2 for me, down from one for each CalDAV calendar I have. I do have to enter my password twice now - before I applied the patch could enter it in one of the many prompts and cancel the rest.
I'm using Thunderbird 3 RC2 and the latest Lightning build available as of today.

What is with the questions when the actualization interval is arrived or when you set a new Task or Event? Did ask Lightning again? Please check it and gave us a new Comment.

[Cgiraud (cgiraud)]

I'm sorry, but I need a stable version (no test environnement, only production).
It's why I installed a build environnement and compile comm-1.9.2 to get Lightning with Thunderbird 3.1.10... but without any success.
I'm afraid, I'll wait for a new stable version of Thunderbird with this correction included...

[Virgo (virgo)]

Thunderbird 5.0
Lightning 1.0b4
Provider for Google Calendar 0.8
Two master password prompts at startup.
So, still broken.
Only thing it changed is, that instead of 3 prompts I get 2 (I have 2 remote calendars, one Google and one webdav).
What I dontr understand is, why it's even possible to get multiple master password prompts. Shouldn't password manager deal with this?

[Cgiraud (cgiraud)]

Thank you Virgo.

One more fact with Thunderbird 3.1.10 and Lightning 1.0b2 with master password set:
. about 10 POP & IMAP e-mail accounts, passwords registered
. about 20 webdav calendars with only one DAViCal account
  - if webdav password registered, about 20 master password prompts
  - if webdav password not registered, only 1 webdav login+password prompted + 1 master password prompt

[Justin Wood (Callek) (bugspam-callek)]

Today's beta uplift is not transplanting this cset (http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-beta/rev/6a406cf2cc0b ) to the new head, and this bug does not indicate its on aurora or what, so please verify this is correct where you need it.

[Christi Scarborough (christi-coraline)]

I am observing this behaviour with Thunderbird 6.0 / Lightning 1.0b5 under Windows 7 SP1. This behaviour has been consistent since the days of Thunderbird 2 / Lightning 0.6(?). (I've lived with it as a minor yet constant annoyance for years, mitigated by the fact I only reboot my PC when absolutely necessary.) I use several Google calendars, and need to enter the master password 3-4 times on start up.

Could someone with appropriate permissions re-open this bug until it's actually fixed?

[Cgiraud (cgiraud)]

Hi Callek,

The change set you mention is the same than http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-miramar/rev/d10008fff7ab I test in june, and did not solve the problem on Lightning 1.0b2 / Thunderbird 3.1.10 on Win32 XP but aggravate it.

So, no problem with not transplanting this cset, but this bug should be re-open to fix it in an other way.

Note that Lightning password prompt rise before TB splash screen and before TB master password prompt when calendar password is not registered.
So, I suppose Lightning extension startup faster than TB startup could be a cause of this bug.

Could it be reopened ? Shall I create a new one ?

[Philipp-bugzilla (philipp-bugzilla)]

Cyrill, Callek's comment is relevant for tree management, and is about the situation post-1.0b5. This fix is not contained in 1.0b2, but only in 1.0b5. Nevertheless its possible that this bug is not fully fixed so please do open a new bug if this still persists on 1.0b5 (as Christi mentioned). A reference to that bug here would be nice.

[Jamesrome-alum (jamesrome-alum)]

It is still there in 1.0b5 for me unless I use StartupMaster.

[Cgiraud (cgiraud)]

No way to test Lightning 1.0b5 with TB 3.1, so I built a new (VM) Linux machine specially to test this fix.

With TB 6.0 + Lightning 1.0b5, I found this bug fixed (but not very clean) in normal conditions, and still buggy in timeout conditions.

This is still happening, I'm running TB 7.0 and lightning 1.0b7 on Mac and have to enter the master password twice on every restart.

The bug is still alive.

[Marinus (marinus)]

It's probably not the solution people are generally looking for, but I installed the Provider for Google Calendar add-on and let everything run through the Google Calendar. I can even sync Lightning Calendar now with my Android phone and it doesn't ask for a password anymore.

Maybe a solution for some of you until this issue is resolved.

[Cgiraud (cgiraud)]

WinXP, TB 7.0, LG1.0b7
about 10 pop or imap email account on 3 servers
1 DAViCal account to access about 30 CalDAV calendars on 1 LAN server

In normal conditions (no timeout), master password asked only once, but master password window displays fist and hidden by main TB window at startup.

Timeout conditions not tested
(see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682474).

[Ovaalst (ovaalst)]

This problem does not occur when StartupMaster addon is installed. Also, I like the behavior that the the main screen is only visible after entered the correct password.
Is it possible to implement the code or the same kind of behavior of StartupMaster into Thunderbird itself?

That's a great workaround tip - thanks! Also, yes it would be great if enabling Master Password in Thunderbird created a user experience like StartupMaster where you enter it first in order to start the application. Otherwise using a Master Password in Thunderbird doesn't really do much protecting since an intruder could still view all my currently downloaded emails.

Same here on Ubuntu Oneric with Thunderbird 7.0.1, Lightning 1.0b7 and Provider for Google Kalender 0.8.
The password is always asked a second time otherwise the Calendar would not load. The second password window is always in the background and just clicking OK without entering the Password is enough.

But that bug is different. He says, that second password prompt shows up after 10 minutes of waiting. I have currently Lightning 1.0b7 and Thunderbird 7.0.1 and I get two master password prompts immediatly at startup. There is now waiting involved.

[Marinus (marinus)]

I get a password prompt at start-up for every calendar I have installed.
Then, depending on how I have set the refresh/reload time I get a password prompt for every reload.

I assume that this 10 minutes of waiting refers to his calendar refresh/reload time.

ok, i've not read the the mozilla messaging policy on bugs lifecycle, you may be right.
Maybe the policy is false or maybe the bugzilla "reopen" feature should not be available...

I'm bored by that functional breakdown in the Master Password mozilla's product feature : i've already voted for 4 bugs related to that since 2006...

[Othmar Marti (othmar-marti)]

I get multiple requests for the master password
- Thunderbird 16.02
- Lightning 1.8
- SOGo-Connector 10.0.3
- Windows 7

It looks as if there is a pop-up for every mail-account. If I type in the master password on the i.e. third pop-up, only the mail in the third account and above are fetched. If I close all the additional pop-ups until the first one (the one hidden behind the main window, see below) then everything works as expected.

Another annoying behavior is that the first pop-up window is at the bottom of the window stack, even behind the main window. I would like it to be the top-most.

In my opinion, the original bug might be solved, but there is another popping up ;-)

Hello Igi,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with passwords in Thunderbird. You made this bug report in 2010 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you let us know and, in the current version, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 567480
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.
G

I still need to have StartupMaster extension enabled, to get prompted for password just once on startup.
So, I think there is still something to be fixed.

My TB setup:
  - Use of main password enabled;
  - Multiple mail accounts;
  - Lightning extension installed.
  - StartupMaster extension installed.

If StartupMaster is disabled, I get multiple prompts for password.
If StartupMaster is enabled, I get only one prompt at startup (behaves as expected).

apport-collect 567480 --> does not generate anything

Hi Igi. Thanks for the update and trying the apport command. I'll look at next steps.
Take care

Hi Igi. It looks like Mozilla are working on it. Please see this ticket at the Mozilla website:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1176399

Looks like they are testing some solutions.
Hopefully that will be fixed in an upcoming major release of Thunderbird (perhaps version 60?)

This is as far as I can go on this ticket.
Hope you are well.

Changed to a reopened ticket that previous listed ticket was a duplicate of. 1176399 has a solution that is being tested as of Jul 2018.

lightning-extension package no longer valid which is why apport-collect did not generate any info. Moving to thunderbird package where issues with the current version of Lightning are tracked.
