Ok, I took a look at this, and now I feel even stoopider. I can’t find any “alt login” checkbox. I see the empty checkbox, but Account/[the Skype account/Modify Account/Advanced shows:
Am I in the wrong cave?

You can download it from source on https://bitbucket.org/EionRobb/purple-hangouts/src/default/ or download the latest version of the .exe installer (assuming you're on windows) which has the intermediate certs bundled. For the Skype plugin, you'll want to follow the flowchart https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/tree/master/skypeweb#issues - but the secret sauce is to turn on the "use alternate auth" setting the advanced account settings, which bypasses the whole "Magic T" thing.

In any case, I often go to a machine and find that it has disabled my Hangouts account. I know how to re-enable it, of course, but would prefer not to have to. I see no way to tell Pidgin to retry more times, or for longer; am I just missing it? Then there's the Skype "Failed to get magic T-value", which I also get randomly... Any suggestions appreciated. _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im <mailto:Support@pidgin.im> mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
