Is there an app to backup the passwords ?

How do I back up the passwords ?

Step by step please.

Recommendations are to backup the Profile, as opposed to individual
files or directories in that directory. You can do that by copying the
profile directory to another location.

The easiest way to find your Profile in ANY OS is to use Help from the
Menu bar or from the hamburger icon and use Troubleshooting item. When
that window opens, it has a button for Open directory next to the
Profile Directory item. Then you can see from the file manager's
address line where that directory is that has been opened.

Previously there used to be a MozBackup, but its development and
maintenance ended long ago. I believe the Profile manager can still be
run in any OS by starting from a closed Tb and using the command for the
program

thunderbird -ProfileManager

Profiles - Where Thunderbird stores your messages and other user data

Starting the Profile Manager

There are also useful articles about this in the m'zine kb, but some of
them contain older info. In order to use it usefully, one needs to know
which info is old and which is still good, and how to find your way
around http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Thunderbird
and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Profiles and
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager

I prefer the moz kb over support.moz.
