Inappropriate?I hacked it by editing the keychain entry, but is it possible to do this in Tweetie? I tried double clicking my account, and also right clicking on it (in the accounts tab in preferences) -
Inappropriate?I just deleted my account and re-created it with the new password, but that's a far messier way of doing it.
There should definitely be a way to update your password in Tweetie directly. In fact, ideally Tweetie should pop-up and prompt you for a new password when authentication fails, either proactively, or at least in response to clicking on the "Error" message at the bottom of the Tweetie window.

Inappropriate?Yeah this needs to be addressed. -
Inappropriate?I'm unable to use tweetie for Mac or the iPhone app after changing my password. This really needs to be addressed.

You can of course delete and re-add your accounts still though, right? -
yes, but I'm still unable to authenticate the account for which I changed the password.
... and another attempt just now was successful. perhaps it is a time issue with authentication attempts? -
Yes, there can be an issue with stale info in the API pipes. Waiting tends to clean it up.
