#9603: Pidgin no longer gives password retry prompt

Component:  unclassified                        |   Version:  2.5.8     
 Keywords:  Pidgin Yahoo Password Retry Prompt  |  
------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 I am using GNU/Linux Ubuntu 8.04.

 Previously before I upgraded my Pidgin to 2.5.7 as a result of Yahoo!'s
 upgrade of its authentication mechanism, every time I typed a wrong
 password, after prompting me that the password was wrong, Pidgin prompted
 me with another password box to retry when I clicked "Re-enable".

 But, now Pidgin does not do it anymore. After the prompt about a wrong
 password is given with two choices as usual: "Modify Account" or "Re-
 enable", Pidgin does not give another password prompt. So, the next
 password sent to the server will also be wrong when "Re-enable" is
 clicked. Repeat this three times and Yahoo! locks my account.

 So, Pidgin should prompt the user for the correct password whenever "Re-
 enable" is clicked just like before.
