Sometimes, Alpine forgets the password for one of the accounts, that should have been saved weeks or months ago. Like this morning, computer resumes from hibernation and it asks for the password of one account. Ctrl-C, asks again and again, maybe a dozen times.

Yesterday it worked fine, and pine has not been restarted.

What is going on?

This is sporadic, like once a month or several months.

Normally the only way out is to type the account password and tell it to file for ever. This time I'll leave it in this status just in case someone knows some trick to make it trust the password in storage or extract information about why it is doing this.
