-----------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 XMPP finally stopped working for Facebook the other day so I had to update
 to facebook protocol. I followed the "Basic usage" and "Installing on
 Windows" intructions on https://github.com/jgeboski/purple-facebook .
 After working through the instructions for windows 7 64-bit, I still get a
 message saying that the user name or password is incorrect. I tried the
 following:

 -Restart Pidgin
 -Restart Computer
 I tried the following for user names:

 - Username at chat.facebook.com\pidgin
 - Username at chat.facebook.com/pidgin
 - Username at chat.facebook.com
 - Username/pidgin
 - Username\pidgin
 - Username
 - Email

 and I still get the user name is incorrect message.
 There is also no app password, so it shouldn't be the password causing the
 issue.

 Please help me get working again, I generally do not use facebook other
 than the chat along with my other chat programs. Pidgin is better in every
 way when compared to facebook chat in the browser.
