Empathy displays "Facebook needs password" notification even though it has password

[Zordid]

Every time when I start Empathy, there is a popup notification saying "Facebook(username) needs password".

But there is no problem! I am logged in, when I go to accounts, everything is fine - my password is there AND works!

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

I'm having the same problem, but in my case it sometimes also randomly pops up a notification that it needs the password while it has been running just fine for some time. When I switch to it facebook is connected and works as it should.
