#9603: Pidgin no longer gives password retry prompt
------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: eus | Owner: rekkanoryo
Type: defect | Status: new
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.
