Password Exporter is a Thunderbird extension that allows you to export and import your saved passwords and rejected sites between computers.

Your passwords will be exported to an XML or CSV file and can be encrypted.

Where to find it:
Firefox 1.5 & Thunderbird Only: Tools -> Options -> Privacy pane -> Passwords tab -> View Saved Passwords button -> Import/Export Passwords tab
All: Tools -> Options -> Privacy (or Security) pane -> Import/Export Password button

NOTICE: The "encryption" is mainly to prevent casual users from stumbling upon your passwords. It will in no way stop someone who actually wants to see them, as they could just import your file anyway.

Bug: If you have more than one password entry with the exact same host, username, and password, it is considered a duplicate by Password Manager and will not be imported correctly. Bugzilla 344241 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344241) has been created for this and I am trying to find a work-around as well.

Requirements:
Thunderbird 1.5 - 1.6a1 ALL
Firefox 1.5 - 3.0a1 ALL
