[Bug 559692] Re: MSN authentication error if email ID is @superig

[Kemp]

Taking a hint from your mention of maximum password length, I took a
look around at mine (as I use 20 character passwords by default). It
seems that when I paste a new password into the hotmail site, the entry
box cuts it down to 16 characters. I noticed this when I was changing it
to 16 characters to test just now and my old and new passwords pasted in
at the same length. I have a suspicion therefore that me and Fabio have
been encountering the same problem, and that both the official client
and pidgin have been truncating my password before sending it (thus why
they both succeeded). I will be able to check this later today and get
back to you. If that is the issue then I apologise for sending you down
the wrong path with the special characters. It would probably have
helped me if the hotmail site had mentioned any sort of length limit
instead of just silently correcting behind the scenes.
