Fix - Adium Facebook Authorization keeps repeating
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.
- Go to Preferences -> Accounts.
- Disable FB account.
- Click on Add new account and Choose XMPP.
- Add following details
- Username:
<your username>@chat.facebook.com
. Eg. heshanlk@chat.facebook.com in my case. - Password:
<your Facebook password>
- Username:
- 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?
