#12290: MSN: pidgin doesn't ask for new password after login failure

Component:  MSN                           |   Version:  2.7.1  
 Keywords:  manual login password retype  |  
------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 I use 4 kinds of IM accounts: irc, gtalk, jabber and msn, and I NEVER use
 the "remember the password" option in any of them, so I have to type the
 password every time I start pidgin (right for me).

 The problem occurs with the MSN account: whenever I misstype the password
 and the login fails, it appears a subdialog (image attached) just offering
 me two options: "modify account" and "reactivate". If a click the first
 one I'm forced to save again the account (empty password), but the msn
 account gets disabled and I had to reenable it to restart the login
 process. If I click the "reactivate" option, it never asks me a new
 password, just tries the same (which is somehow stored or cached). So, the
 hole process is a pain: login fail -> edit account -> save it -> reenable
 account -> relogin

 This problem doesn't exist with gtalk or jabber accounts that ask for new
 password.

 Just a final thought: am I the only person that doesn't check the
 "remember password" option? Is people so confident about no one accessing
 their computer and starting their pidgin?

 anyway: thank you all very much for all the effort developing Pidgin. It
 saved my life :)
