Has anyone else been having "incorrect password" issues with Apple Messages?

Chat & Messages
Something's Broken
I've been using Facebook Chat through Apple Messages ('account-name@chat.facebook.com' set up as a Jabber account) for a while now, and recently I've been unable to sign into Chat through Messages.

(Messages complains about an "incorrect password" when the password is known to be correct.)

Has anyone else been having that problem, and would anyone know of a solution?

      Hi Douglas,

      Unfortunately, we're deprecating the Jabber platform for Messenger. If you'd like to provide feedback to the messages product team about this, please visit our Help Center:

      Thanks,

      • Jabber doesn't have the ability to grant creepy access to stuff that's seemingly unrelated to chat. Oh well!

      • Leave it to Facebook to take away something good. I'm sure there's a Mac messenger app in the works, but I surely won't download it. Facebook surely knows how to push people to the edge of deleting their accounts. Moves like this pushes me a step closer.
