Pidgin and Facebook two-factor authentication
Since I enabled two-factor authentication on Facebook:
Login Approvals
When an unrecognized computer or device tries to access my account:
Require me to enter a security code sent to my phone
pidgin-facebookchat (the Facebook Chat plugin for Pidgin) has stopped working. Is there a way to fix this?
I have solved by miracle!
- log from pidgin with your first password
- when you receive the message, log again but using the verification code
Add an app password:here
This will generate a separate password you can give to pidgin that will not require 2-factor auth.
