Comment:

 That is interesting, and definitely something that we need to make work
 better. But you shouldn't need to quit pidgin and restart it, you should
 just need to disable the account and then re-enable it to get it to ask
 you for the password again. If that doesn't work (and it really should,
 and if it doesn't that is possibly/probably a bug) then you should be able
 to Modify the account to set a different password while it is disabled to
 force the password to change and then delete it to force pidgin to ask for
 the password again.

 Also, are you having pidgin save your password or are you typing it in
 every time? If you are saving it then this shouldn't be able to happen, if
 you are re-typing it that at least opens up the possibility of typing
 errors being involved here.
