New description:

 When using an incorrect password on jabber.org, it returns {{{invalid-
 authzid}}} instead of what should be {{{not-authorized}}}.

 If Pidgin is set to not save a password, then the password is still cached
 in memory. Only on {{{not-authorized}}}, this cached password is
 automatically removed (causing a reprompt). On any other auth-related
 error the cached password is kept. The only way to remove this password is
 by entering a value in the account's preferences and clear it again.

 Because Pidgin doesn't support using an authcid different from an authzid,
 I think it's fair to treat {{{invalid-authzid}}} as a reason to clear the
 cached password.
