Try this dirty hack: http://radu.cotescu.com/facebook-pidgin-not-authorised/ . It must be the same issue.

For some reason it is not possible for me to login into Facebook Chat (Google Chat works fine). I took the username from the URL as described in several Facebook/XMPP tutorials, but still LogIn does not work. I can not configure why? I added Plattform and Log below, maybe someone finds something I overlooked?

thx

I'm actually getting the same issue.

Connects to facebook fine using profanity on OSX, but doesn't work on Ubuntu 14.04 (logs below),

I'm thinking this must be something to do with libstrophe's usage of OpenSSL and the version of OpenSSL compiled against, since it appears to work in some environments but not others. It might also be related to other login issues/crashes we're seeing.  I'm going to try to find some time to delve into the relevant libstrophe code.

Ok, it works for me now. It was a combination of two things. One, was the problem described at the URI @pasis sent (thanks for that) the other problem refers to a security setting I activated. That means I activated the option that I have to confirm via PIN send to my mobile phone if an application wants to login to Facebook. This seems also refer to XMPP Chat applications. So it's mandatory to deactivate this option in Facebook.

Maybe it would be a good idea to include these informations in the official profanity documentation.

Thanks to all of you

Thanks for the useful info.

I've added some details to the FAQ, and linked from the Getting Started page.
