Update Oct 5th: This is related to the issue https://trac.adium.im/ticket/#16368

Recently I changed my FB password for security reasons and this error keep bugging me on Adium, for some reason Adium couldn't authenticate :(. So I had another approach to fix this. Follow as below so you can use same FB chat without any issue.

  1. Go to Preferences -> Accounts.
  2. Disable FB account.
  3. Click on Add new account and Choose XMPP.
  4. Add following details
  5. Go to options
    • Server: chat.facebook.com
    • Port: 5222

Enjoy!

I have no idea what the mechanism behind the FB plugin and I think if we can implement just a XMPP + Download picture from URL (​http://graph.facebook.com/heshanlk/picture) that will simplify the process and avoid this kind of problems. Thoughts?
