I am using Thunderbird to access my Google Mail. I use OAuth2 to authenticate. I am doing some testing and want to delete the OAuth2 token Thunderbird is using so that I am forced to re-authenticate.
How do I delete this OAuth2 token in Thunderbird?

I think it is Tools > options > Security > Passwords > saved passwords and search on "auth"

The full path in my Thunderbird was `oauth://accounts.google.com`. – rlandster Nov 01 '19 at 01:20

And after you delete the oauth token you also need Thunderbird version 68.2.1 for oauth to work, because Google broke us. For reference tThe fix is documented in https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/68.2.1/releasenotes/

my second answer may not be a direct answer to the initial question, but when the author follows the original instructions I posted he will be BROKEN and not able to authenticate. My second answer is required. – wsmwk Nov 07 '19 at 16:45

And re-add the email account after you delete the OAuth token i.e do not re-start Thunderbird, otherwise Thunderbird adds the old Oauth token back in when you re-start, so effectively you have to delete and write a new OAuth token in the same session
