Taking a hint from your mention of maximum password length, I took a look around at mine (as I use 20 character passwords by default). It seems that when I paste a new password into the hotmail site, the entry box cuts it down to 16 characters. I noticed this when I was changing it to 16 characters to test just now and my old and new passwords pasted in at the same length. I have a suspicion therefore that me and Fabio have been encountering the same problem, and that both the official client and pidgin have been truncating my password before sending it (thus why they both succeeded). I will be able to check this later today and get back to you. If that is the issue then I apologise for sending you down the wrong path with the special characters. It would probably have helped me if the hotmail site had mentioned any sort of length limit instead of just silently correcting behind the scenes.
