(this ticket is similar to #14943 but more general)
In most of protocols you don't need more than username and password to log
in, so idea is: why should we show more input boxes than we need. It's
confusing inexperienced users and power users can find more advanced
options in another tab.
I had done some usability testing with pidgin (because of my undergraduate
assignment) and it showed like a problem, that users had to guess if all
of fields are required or only those that are required usually
(username&password)
I am willing to write patch for this, or at least try it (since I didn't
look at Pidgin's source yet).
