Your site tells me that I have to go to the 'options' tab in order to change my password but there is NO options tab and no matter where I look I cannot find where password are stored or how they can be changed. I have windows 10. I've also tried using thunderbird on a different (windows 7) machine and can't get it to work at all. It's not exactly user friendly is it? I guess if you're a techie and love finding this stuff out then it's great but for a normal non-techie it's pretty hopeless trying to navigate around

I'm not sure where you saw 'options', but on Windows, try tools>preferences>Privacy & Security and you will see ability to view and change passwords. To change, right-click an entry and a popup menu offers option to change.

Perhaps they're talking about your mail provider? If I follow you're changing your password for you mail account. Thunderbird doesn't have a role in that, right, so you need to go to your mail account.
