I'm also affected by this issue, however I think the message is send because I have it as a Startup Application. On login no network connection is available, which causes the messages and just after these messages appear a network connection is available and everything connects properly. If I close the application and start it with a working connection I do not see any notifications.
So a fix might be to first check for a network connection before empathy tries to connect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/840875 Title: Empathy sends a notification "Password required" without any supplementary info To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/840875/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
