Comment (by elieux):

 Today, Pidgin said I'm "not authorized" when I tried to log in to Facebook
 Chat (still using my main password). I tried several times, until I
 noticed my phone received an SMS for each attempt. The messages said "Use
 <numeric code> as your password for Facebook Chat." The code didn't work
 either, but it didn't generate another message. I left it like that.

 Later today, I tried logging in again and this time I got a this message
 through Pidgin from chat.facebook.com: "Your account is temporarily
 unavailable. Regain access by logging into your account from a web
 browser." I have seen this in the past, so I went to Facebook web,
 confirmed that it wasn't a hack attempt and everything started working
 again.

 I just wanted to share this, in case anyone else is experiencing this.
