Description
Facebook oauth token failing on bitlbee (page not found)
It seems when you try to ask for an oauth token it does not work:
09:56:31 <jabber_oauth> Open this URL in your browser to authenticate: <URL HERE FAILS> 09:56:31 <jabber_oauth> Respond to this message with the returned authorization token.
Facebook tells me: ERROR: An error has occurred. Try again later.
It seems it has trouble getting an oauth token from facebook itself?

I see, bad luck, I already figured I couldn't see bitlbee app anymore at the security settings for apps. Hopefully they will fix this ASAP.

I barely even use FB chat that much, but I'm still upset about this over just the principle. What could possibly be the reason for them revoking bitlbee? I'd like to hear the explanation for their actions here.
Also, I can't get the password auth to work either. I just get
jabber - Login error: Authentication failure
Not sure if it's just me or what. I've never used this before, but I'm typing the commands verbatim from the wiki so I have no idea.

hmm, maybe create a new "app" and "app key" on facebook?

See the message, they've completely revoked my ability to register them. But oF course you could do it yourself and just put the API keys into the source.

Strange. It seems to be working again, actually. I've never received any notification, but hey.. I've verified, it works again now. Have fun, all!

This has resurfaced. Potential fix:
acc fb set oauth off
acc fb set username <yourusername>@chat.facebook.com
acc fb set password <yourpassword>
acc fb on

This fix worked for me. Thanks!
Facebook broke it. Please send them a complaint. I'm *very* angry.
I've clicked the "Appeal" button and asked them why it was "okay" to just do this without giving any explanation, but I assume this GUI around /dev/null is not very good at sending useful responses.
