What were you trying to do?
Running thunderbird. Thunderbird asked me to enter a password and provided a remember password option.
What's wrong:
Option to remember password was intentionally disabled on previous versions of Athena due to security of storing the kerberos password on AFS.
What should have happened:
There should have been no option to store password in Thunderbird.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Please see details on the implementation in the thunderbird locker.
