Description K G 2012-07-30 21:23:03 UTC

Problem with facebook account with gabble.  I've got password with \ symbol.

After creating account by account manager account creates and connects without problems. 
After restart or relogging it is not possible to connect with server because of authentication error. 

To make account working you need to remove and add account again. (changing password in account settings not helps). 

Alternatively reading account or change password in empathy account meager helps. 

When I checked password saved in kwallet it was missing symbol after \ (e.g. xx\yy in stand of xx\zyy)

I'm not sure if its ktp problem because of:
I've got ktp and empathy both installed (emp. usually is not running)
I'm not sure witch one is used KWallet or GNOMEKeyring both are running
Empathy could not connect to account as well as.

Now I'm sure it is ussing GK. I think it's GK bug.

Comment 2 K G 2012-08-26 20:46:30 UTC

1. When account is created by empathy or mc-tool MC t password itself in GK and  dont use auth handler
2. When there is password in Gnome Keyring for account MC use GK even when account is (re)created in ktp
3. There is bug in GK related to storing passwords containing '\'

So is this actually a GK bug? If so, please close this and reopen a bug at Gnome's bugzilla ;)

3. Is GK bug
1. 2. Are related with MC and auth-handler. I'm not sure if it could be fixed in ktp. I'll put it in separated report
