Public bug reported: I was using Empathy 2.34.0 in Gnome 2/Classic in Ubuntu 11.04.
I changed my Yahoo! account password. At first I could connect to Yahoo! by opening the accounts menu and typing the new password there. For whatever reason, Empathy was unable to store/remember the password, and reverted to the old password the next time I started it. I made a bug report of this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1027420 The suggested fix was to enter "passwords and encryption keys" and delete everything related to Empathy in there. I was unable to delete anything, but was able to correct the passwords. Now Empathy can't connect at all. I tried rebooting, but it has not fixed this. Steps to reproduce: Change Yahoo! account password. Change passwords in "passwords in encryption keys" to match. ** Affects: empathy (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1028041 Title: Empathy cannot connect to Yahoo! after changing passwords To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1028041/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
