 > I have recently had trouble with this.
 > I changed my password to be 17 chars in length using the options form on
 the hotmail Website.
 > I did not notice that the password was truncated and of course saved the
 same one in Pidgin.
 > If it is known that MSN truncated passwords greater than 16 chars could
 you please include it in the FAQ section. A more long term solution could
 be to change the MSN protocol to only accept 16 char passwords?

 We already truncate the password.  This was added in either 2.4.1 or
 2.4.2.
