Comment (by pidhunter):

 No, is not a duplicate because ​https://crackstation.net/hashing-
 security.htm explains that is generaly wrong with
 \AppData?\Roaming\.purple\ is there a accounts.xml

 The password has to salted before it come in a XML-Data and it has
 unsalted before a application use it.

 If pidgin.im does not fix this urgently, then a warning over other
 platforms is needed today!
