I had that problem. Here is my work-around: 1. Using the Password Exporter extension in SeaMonkey 2.26.1, I exported all my passwords to a CSV file. 2. I deleted all my passwords. 3. I deleted my master password. 4. I removed the Remember Passwords extension. 5. I updated to SeaMonkey 2.35 (the latest version available when I finally decided to abandon 2.26.1). 6. Using the Password Exporter extension in SeaMonkey 2.35, I imported my passwords from the CSV file. 7. I set my master password. If you do not already have Password Exporter (from <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/password-exporter/>) installed, you will have to download it and convert it for SeaMonkey compatibility at <http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/> before installing it. Whenever I update SeaMonkey, I copy all my profiles into my <save SM profiles> directory; this can be very important if I have to revert back to a prior version of SeaMonkey. -- David E.
