Bug Description

If I type my password wrong in pidgin, it disables my account. It should instead give me a chance to retype my password *at least three times* before it disables my account, preferably infinite with the option to cancel.

This is clearly an issue in pidgin 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1, which is the Intrepid version, as well. If you type the password wrong, you have to modify the account, type the correct password, then activate the account from the menu, then type the correct password again. That is stupid. Is there a reason to this behavior?
