After changing password via icq.com, i am unable to login to ICQ network via pidgin

[Volodya]

Everything worked fine, and then i went to icq.com and changed my icq password from there. Pidgin stopped letting me in with "Incorrect password" error.

I have attempted several times to change the password to different values, even trying to change it to the exact same password that worked before. Nothing helps.

I am able to login to the "Web ICQ" available on the site, i am able to get into the profile settings on icq.com, the password is valid.

It does not consist of any strange characters. Only latin letters and numbers are used.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I had this problem too but then changed my password on the site again using only letters and numbers ( no symbols ) and its fixed.

Changed my password to have exactly 8 characters (not 8 or more, but 8 exactly) and the problem disappears.

I had the same problem after I decided to make my password a bit stronger. Changing my password to an 8-character string made signing in through Pidgin work again.

I can confirm this bug. The bug affects the windows version too.
Using a 8-character string solved the issue.
