Failed Getting T Magic Value skype4pidgin #660

Open User5959 opened 3 years ago

User5959 commented 3 years ago

When i first installed Pidgin i linked my Skype account to it but when i do it, it keeps saying: "Failed getting T Magic value" I keeps getting this tried many other comments and suggestions still no luck. I'm using Pidgin v 2.14.1 for Windows

EionRobb commented 3 years ago

What version of the plugin are you using? You can find it in, from the buddy list, Help->Plugin Information, then scroll about half-way down the list (it's not alphabetical)

Does it work if you use the "Use alternate auth" setting in the Advanced account settings tab?

Hi, I suffer the same issue as User5959 since a few hours (yesterday it connected well) and I confirm that enabling the "Use alternate auth" setting works. I am running 1.7 version. Regards.

mkdy commented 3 years ago

Can confirm the issue. Yesterday it was ok. The alternative method says 'Profile accural is required'.

boris-petrov commented 3 years ago

Same here, as of today. Getting Failed getting PPFT value, please try logging in via browser first - yesterday was working. Using 1.7, compiled a minute ago.

@EionRobb - using the alternative method has been failing all along for me. I get Login error: Bad username or password (Authentication Failure). I've been searching for this for a while now but no one else seems to get that. Any ideas why it might be? I have 2-factor enabled, that's the only thing I imagine can be a problem. Obviously my login (I use my @live.com email)/pass are correct because I used to login with them via the "web" method until today.

i don't have "alternative auth" option

ZaxonXP commented 3 years ago

I am getting the following message

Failed getting PPFT value, please try logging in via browser first

Yesterday it was working OK. And I cannot use the alternative log in method as my contacts will not know who is talking to them. Fix trom the #656 was working before but not anymore.

bodqhrohro commented 3 years ago

I've done some research; looks like they added one more login stage. Between requests to /ppsecure/post.srf and /login/microsoft, there should also be a POST request to https://lw.skype.com/login/oauth/proxy. /ppsecure/post.srf kindly provides a HTML form with parameters to populate it (instead of sFT/opid, that's why parsing them out fails now), so I guess it won't be hard to fix the auth.

bodqhrohro commented 3 years ago

Phew, works for me!

It's not actually a new stage, but a replacement for the stage introduced after the recent breakage.

I've also made a DEB package if someone needs it.

ZaxonXP commented 3 years ago

@bodqhrohro: Thanks for the deb package. It is working like a charm. :)

bodqhrohro commented 3 years ago

And you know what? That whole stage is now redundant, as the previous one contains the Magic T again! Looks like M$ folks just have rolled back what they messed up in August.

I've just installed the old 1.6.0 build and it logs in fine too.

Check please if that works for you as well. If so, I've just trashed 6 hours of my life for nothing ;D (except of getting more familiar with skypeweb internals, of course).

ZaxonXP commented 3 years ago

@bodqhrohro: Indeed, ver. 1.6 works well too. Trough history MS proved that they are able to screw things well. That how they get their bucks trough selling support. :)

Hello, sorry but can someone make a installer for Windows?

zod6 commented 3 years ago

Can confirm that bodqhrohro's patch works. I wanted to mess with this error myself, but power went off for whole night :D

bodqhrohro commented 3 years ago

@User5959 does the 1.6 Windows DLL work for you? Here's an instruction on where to put it.

jhartotr commented 3 years ago

I'm using skype3pidgin from the master branch (f836eebcda6eba6e321d5baa2efd1934ab43ed1d). Pidgin suddenly fails with

I also use the plugin with bitlbee there it also fails:

A few days back it was working fine, should I install version 1.6 of the plugin?

(btw logging in via browser first didn't help)

(downgraded to tag 1.6 (77f94b55bfb8b0dbc7fafa7461057d33b6802236) and still the same issue)

Thanks it works but I'm not closing this issue right now to help other people

bodqhrohro commented 3 years ago

@jhartotr downgrading to 1.6 fixes the web-based login; you seem to have the alt (SOAP-based) login enabled.

jhartotr commented 3 years ago

After switching back to version 1.7:

and disabling "Use alternative login method":

it works again:

So not sure what happened, I enabled "Use alternative login method" since it was proposed as a solution but didn't work. Probably microsoft was tweaking something on their servers.

boris-petrov commented 3 years ago

For me it stopped working again (after having reverted to 1.6 a few days ago) - we have to switch to 1.7 yet another time for Skype to login.

dlmarquis commented 3 years ago

I also had 1.6 stop working yesterday. 1.7 didn't work for me. What did work, weirdly enough, was adding debug print statements to skypeweb_string_get_chunk in skypeweb_util.c immediately before each g_return_val_if_fail call. Could there also be a timeout problem somewhere in here?

jhartotr commented 3 years ago

After some days working fine with 1.7 it started to fail again for me:

Login to skype using the browser first didn't help.

Activating "Use alternative login method" fails with a different error.

bodqhrohro commented 3 years ago

@jhartotr so do you have now 1.6 working, or both 1.6 and 1.7 don't work?

jhartotr commented 3 years ago

I'm using now 1.7. I've now applied the changes on https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/pull/665 locally and after recompiling the skypeweb plugin and restarting pidgin it works again.
