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.
