Hangout - how to configure?

[gskoczylas]

Until now I used the Jabber plug-in to contact Google Talk. Since the latest version of Miranda this way is no longer available.

How should I configure Miranda to use Google Hangout?

GoogleTalk plugin only catched Google mail notifications.
Since Google stopped sending them through XMPP, this feature became useless, and thus we moved GoogleTalk to deprecated plugins

You can use GmailNotifier plugin to be notified about Google mail, or use simple Jabber plugin to send/receive messages through Google. There is a predefined setting for Google accounts inside Jabber:

I downloaded the Jabber plug-in (https://wiki.miranda-ng.org/index.php?title=Plugin:Jabber/pl). Now I can see the Jabber protocol in the Accounts window, but there is also information Protocol is not loaded and information in the right panel Account is disabled. Please activate it to access options.

So, what should I do to activate this account (my Google account is active)? 

[dartraiden]

Turn on the checkbox to the left of it

[gskoczylas]

Are you joking?

Just in case you have written this seriously: the protocol is checked-on but it does not have any effect.

Of course Google Talk account is configured (login and password configured in plug-in)

[dartraiden]

Disabled protocol is one of the reasons that can cause "Protocol is not loaded".
Another reason may be the following: do you have a libaxolotl.mir in /Libs/ subfolder?
But seems like Jabber is loaded, so "Protocol is not loaded" message is strange...

Options - Contact list - Accounts, check Jabber.

Wow!  Just few minues age I found, that this protocol was disabled there. :-)

Now I can see Jabber icon in the status bar but still can't turn this protocol to the Online state.

I tried to find reason and configured network logging. Now in the netlog.txt file I see the following information (fragments):

I'm pretty sure that password is correct. I try to find the reason why Google rejects my authorisation.

[dartraiden]

Just note: Miranda doesn't support 2-factor authorization.

[gskoczylas]

Hmm... Does this mean that I should turn it off to be able use Google Talk in Miranda?
What about Google account security?

[dartraiden]

You can create application password for using with Miranda.
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833

If the application password is compromised, you can easily revoke it and generate a new one without changing the main account password. And this will save 2-factor authorization enabled for other applications.

[gskoczylas]

It works. Thanks for your support!
