#ADIUM YAHOO ERROR 1003 PASSWORD#

The disconnection comes in the form of an authorization error, so Adium responds by presenting a password prompt: Please try it out and let us know on the Trac ticket whether it solves the problem for you.įour days ago, many of our users started getting disconnected from Yahoo! after several hours.

This is not new in 1.3.1: We released 1.3.1 on September 7th, so it was working fine for nearly two weeks before the problems started. It’s not specific to Adium: Pidgin users are reporting the same problems. Our users are reporting that the official Yahoo! Messenger client does not get disconnected, so it seems to be a fault in Libpurple, the library that Pidgin and Adium both use.įurthermore, we stress that Adium has not forgotten your password. As shown above, Adium fills in your old password. This is not a security risk, as you can’t cut or copy from the password field: This is so that, if the error is spurious (as in this case), you can just hit OK. The periodic disconnections are a hassle, but you should still be able to chat. Meanwhile, we and the Libpurple developers are still investigating the specific cause of the problem, so we know who needs to fix what.

You’ll get disconnected after about six to eight hours (sometimes more, sometimes less).

If you use the official Yahoo! Messenger, you won’t get disconnected.

If you use Pidgin, you will get disconnected.

If you use Finch, you will get disconnected.

If Adium had forgotten your password, it wouldn’t be filled in.) (You can tell because it’s filled in in the password prompt. We know that a lot of you are experiencing problems. Please don’t leave a comment just to say “me too”.

We already know about the problem its existence is not in question, so we don’t need more evidence that it exists.

Whether any other clients have the same problem.

If you use a client that isn’t based on Libpurple, and either have or don’t have the problem in that client, we could really use that information.
