ICQ finally increased the infamous 8-character limit on password length. Now passwords up to 16 characters are allowed. Kopete still truncates user input to the old one though, with the obvious result that users with longer passwords can not log in. I did not check it out yet, but it seems that `protocols/oscar/icq/icqaccount.cpp` is the only place where the limit is hardcoded: void ICQAccount::connectWithPassword( const QString &password ) { ... engine()->start( server, port, accountId(), password.left(8) ); ... }
Can you try to change "password.left(8)" to just "password" if it really fix that problem?
I can fix it manually but it should be fixed in distributed package.
Yes, but I mean if you really tested that change. Before commiting such change into kopete release I need to be sure that this change is really working and does not break something else.
If you can provide the information requested in comment #3, please add it.
