Adium Says My MSN Login Info Is Incorrect!
I just downloaded adium and I typed in my login correctly for MSN. The program says it logs in to almost 100% but then says, "Error: Unable to authenticate: The e-mail address or password is incorrect." I went onto Microsoft Messenger to make sure my username and password are correct and they are. What's up?
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Yaaaaay!!! I solved it! Ok guys, change your password to less than 8 characters and that should solve the problem! At least it worked for me!
Good luck!
In some other forums they are relating the problem to whether your MSN address has an underscore "_" . In my experience that has nothing to do with it. -

Inappropriate?Oh no, War Mage.. Might sound repetitive... but I'll just tell u the 2 things I did.
1 Changed my password to 6 characters
2 Deleted my account and added it again once I had changed the password -
Inappropriate?Unfortunately, my password is already 6 characters, so this solution is probably just snake oil.

Inappropriate?dyepez thanx, for some reason this worked for me. I just cut my old password tail of so that there were only 7 first letter left. With this new password I was able get in. :-)

Inappropriate?I tried several different possible causes (special characters, password length) but the only thing that mattered was password length: 16 chars was ok, 17 was not.
I’m happy
