I have experienced this bug in the past on Linux systems and am currently experiencing it on Windows as well.

I am running Thunderbird 91.7.0 on Windows 10.

When I add an RSS feed with basic auth to my subscriptions, the addition fails. When I add basicauth=1 to the feed URL, I can subscribe and will be prompted for the credentials. When I enter the correct credentials, the messages are received. But the credentials are not added to the saved passwords, no matter what.

I tried adding the credentials manually (by editing logins.json) but that only got me another prompt with the values pre-filled.

I can include username and password in the feed url (&username=X&password=Y) but that gets stored without encryption inside my profile and I really do not want that.

This bug is allowed to buy alcohol in a lot of countries in a few weeks (meaning it will turn 18 soon) and I really hope it will get fixed soon.
