An output of the konsole when running kopete from terminal...

How to reproduce, start yahoo and try to connect with a specific name and I receive the error "The password was wrong. Please re-enter your password for Yahoo account <x>"  Where x is the name in question.

Does your password contain a special character (ie. anything except a-z and numbers?).  Then this might be the same as bug 165308.

Yes, in fact my original assumption was that Kopete was unable to handle my password due to either length and or complexity.  I was thinking maybe if it encrypt/encodes it to send it over some character was incorrectly represented and thus the server denied the request.  So I tried changing the password, vuala!  However, whilst this test gave validity to my assumption I am still at a loss on how to solve the issue...

BTW, I do not store my password with KWallet or any other password storing program including kopete (I feel it to be unsafe).

This is most probably a duplicate of bug 226272.
