   How can I create a facebook transport with Pidgin or Jitsi.
   I have tried both clients but I cannot find something like service discovery in those.
   Also, how long will such a transport persist?
   Is there a timeout or something like this?
   thanks

   You need to setup Facebook first to allow XMPP chat first. Then you create an transport account. Your username is: facebookuser@chat.facebook.com

   ‘Danke Roi. Habe das Problem identifiziert: Apps ‘Platform’ hatte ich in den Facebook settings deaktiviert. Nirgendwo gibt es einen Hinweis, dass dies nötig sei…
   Jetzt läuft’s wunderbar

   Hi.
   I changed my facebook password and now the facebook transport can not connect anymore. Error message: “Login/Password invalid”.
   I tried to unregister the transport with Psi, but I get another error message: “Unable to retrieve registration form. Reason: Forbidden. The requesting entity does not possess the required permissions to perform the action”.
   Can you help me fix this?

     I found your preregister page. So after preregistering I was able to unregister and register the facebook transport with the correct password. The facebook roster however is not coming through. I did authorize the transport.

   Is it possible to use Facebook “App Passwords” instead of your actual account pwd, to register and connect the hot-chilli transport to your account?
   I thought to remember it had worked for me before, but note I just don’t succeed anymore…

     Based on the example (iChat XMPP – see link below) it SHOULD WORK.
     …yet for me it does not.
