I have just had Thunderbird do an update, had it required septembers username and password to be re-entered, after the update. Luckily, some weeks ago, I'd had an email from september, confirming these very details.
Have your TB server u/n and password to hand

You can go Edit->Settings, Privacy and Security, Saved Passwords and it shows all your servers' configs, including passwords, in one place. (well almost, it doesn't show the TLS/STARTTLS settings and port numbers)
If you take a screenshot of this you have them all for future reference.

Actually I had great trouble getting Eternal September to work this morning, and I don't use Thunderbird for news. I wonder if it was a server problem you had.
I think eternal-september was very poorly for a few hours, but appears better now.
I guess their user authentication service broke.
Eternal September servers were down for some time this morning.
Ditto, It was corrected at some recent point.
Thanks.
In Thunderbird 102.15.1 it's Tools > Settings / Privacy and Security / Saved Passwords
According to their web page checker, they weren't, even though I couldn't connect for some hours -

According to Ray Banana on the eternal-september.support it was "a temporary indisposition of the authentication server".
The server itself was up since I could connect, but the authentication system was not.
