 I changed my password in yahoo online using the y! website.
 I was able to login into the website.

 Now I started pidgin and it told me: wrong password
 I edited the y! account using a password manager which "typed" the
 password letter by letter in the password field.
 I saved the password and retried it: wrong password (once again).

 Now I thought: what is going on here. So I opened the accounts.xml and
 took a look at the entry. I noticed that the special character [ was not
 saved. I retried the password changing and noticed that there is a missing
 letter in the password field. So I "typed" the password to the browser's
 address bar and copyed it using CTRL+C and V to the password field and it
 worked. Now I do not know I this is pidgin bug and a bug of my password
 manager (Alle Meine Passworte, german). This is the first time I noticed
 such a problem and I have several passwords using those characters.
