Comment(by DJLyons633):

 Replying to [comment:2 bernmeister]:
 > Is this still an issue in 2.5.8?  I'm not familiar with the code, but I
 can't see why a % character for example would be treated differently.

 I don't see why either but I just checked and my Pidgin 2.5.8 still
 rejects the & character in my password.  It disables that account with the
 error "Incorrect password" even though I know it is correct and in fact
 can login just fine with it using either AIM or the AOL app.  If I change
 my password to eliminate the &, I can use Pidgin.  Thanks for looking into
 it.
