[Bug 118800] Re: Cannot add account
The subject of this bug is "Cannot add account", nor in the description
of the bug report does it say that accounts should be able to be created
without saving a password. I believe it would be of interest to get the
bug title changed, and edit the description as well.. which I will go
ahead and do.
I do feel that the intention of the bug reporter was to make sure
accounts could be created without passwords inserted.
Thank you for clerifying your idea.
** Summary changed:
- Cannot add account
+ Passwords should not be required when creating accounts
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: empathy
I cannot add an account to empathy. If I open the accounts window, hit
add, select type: jabber, fill in a name ("home"), fill in my account
info, and then hit close, then when I open the accounts window again the
account is not listed.
This also applies to other account types.
+
+ EDIT (09-28-2009): the nature of this report should be that accounts
+ should be able to be created without requiring passwords.

[Bug 118800] Re: Cannot add account
I completely agree with Everett Guerny. An Ubuntu release with a default chat client that won't let you create an account without saving a password is seriously broken. And if that's not the subject of this bug, then what is the subject of this bug? And #391659 needs to cease to be marked as a duplicate of this bug. -- Cannot add account https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118800 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 118800] Re: Cannot add account
I expect to be able to add a new account to Empathy WITHOUT HAVING MY PASSWORD SAVED. Unfortunately, this is not possible, even in the newest version of Empathy in Karmic. This was mentioned earlier in this bug, in comment #3 and comment #4. However, I can clearly see that this is not the focus of the bug. Also, my bug, focused on the password saving problem, bug #391659, was marked as a duplicate of this bug. Is it so hard to understand why an app forcing users to save their passwords -- and having that app be included by default with Ubuntu -- is a very, very bad idea? -- Cannot add account https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118800 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 118800] Re: Cannot add account
Since your attempting to either create a brand new account, or use an existing account. You should already know the password and/or be able to insert one to use in your new account creating.

[Bug 118800] Re: Cannot add account
Thanks for the quick response, Brian. Just upgraded to 2.28.0 and found nothing changed. It is still impossible to add an account without saving a password, and impossible to remove that password once saved. -- Cannot add account https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118800 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 118800] Re: Cannot add account
This is still a problem in 2.27.92, in Karmic Alpha 6. Why is this program, with such a glaring security issue, going to be the new default? -- Cannot add account https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118800 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
