My apologies, it appears this was due to user-error. For Yahoo messenger accounts, you must enter only the user-name, not the full Yahoo ID. e.g. For Yahoo ID "usern...@yahoo.com", it should be entered as only "username" in Empathy.
Although this convention is highlighted as the example within the Empathy Account setup for a Yahoo account, it's a different convention to what is used in the Yahoo web messenger, which requests the Yahoo ID be entered as "usern...@yahoo.com". Thanks. -- Under Ubuntu 10.10, Empathy 2.32.0.1 cannot sign into Yahoo messenger - "Authentication failed". https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668660 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
