New description:

 My yahoo password contains a !^ character. If I type it or copy-paste the
 password, it works fine. However if I'm using keepasses auto-type
 function, it does not work.
 See keepass bug for reference:
 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=609908&aid=3235078&group_id=95013
 Do note that the issue happens with portable (for potableapps.com) keepass
 1.x and portable pidgin (latest version, both).

 As a side note, I'd like to bring into attention the old issue of pidgin
 keeping passwords in clear text. Having a portable pidgin kind of raises
 security issues and the explanations and solutions provided for the
 desktop version no longer hold. Somebody might want to rethink this whole
 clear text password thing.
