Description Anno V. Heimburg 2008-04-04 13:57:44 UTC 
Version:           0.12.7 (using 3.5.8, Gentoo)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-gentoo-r4

When I set my MSN password to the 29 letters long string "Ichbrauche1neuesMSN-Passwort", kopete wouldn't let me login to MSN Messenger and insists I entered a wrong pasword (yes I am sure I typed it correctly). Obviously, I changed it again to something shorter and now MSN works again, however, I thought you might want to know about it.

Same problem reported on Pardus's bug tracking system recently and we also can reproduce it with KDE 3.5.9 . 

I'm not sure, but i think the password lenght can not longer then 15 chars(using Kopete). Interestingly amsn can handle longer passwords.
Comment 2 Michael 2008-07-20 12:55:43 UTC 
Windows live seems to allow a maximum of 16 chars, in that case "hanspeterhanspet" and that lenght works with kopete svn trunk r835161
Comment 3 Michael 2008-07-20 12:59:41 UTC 
maybe its worth to note that kopete allows to enter more characters than the 16 i am allowed to use in the password and fails because others just truncate the password after the 16th char.

We've completely replaced the current MSN implementation with a new MSN implementation which  If you continue to experience this bug after testing the new implementation (which can be gotten from our subversion repository or with the KDE 4.2 Beta 1 release), PLEASE, open a new bug rather than reopening this bug. Thank you for your time and efforting in helping us find and fix problems in Kopete.
