 Replying to [comment:8 atlgator]:
 > I had the same experience.  I've had two-factor auth on for a while.  I
 had App Passwords generated for each Pidgin install on multiple machines.
 Then they stopped working recently.  I discovered last week that my normal
 FB password now works and the App Passwords do not.  Seems like FB screwed
 up on the two-factor auth IMO....

 Interesting.  Any more information along this line of inquiry?  Me too,
 but only just recently, which suggests it wasn't a global change on FB
 side.  It was working last week AFAIK.  I remember when my FB password
 stopped working for XMPP, then I created an "App" password just like you;
 that was in January 2013.  Why would it just stop working now just for me?

 Thanks for suggesting I try the regular FB password, btw.

 Any one know why my "App" password stopped working?  When they will work
 again?
