Description Omer Akram 2010-01-18 16:05:36 UTC 
when empathy is removed with sudo apt-get purge empathy in the case the saved accounts in empathy are not removed. If empathy is installed again with sudo apt-get install it automatically logs in without asking for any password.
Comment 1 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-01-18 16:25:01 UTC 
Empathy is not responsible of storing accounts, telepathy-mission-control is.

Anyway, --purge just removed system wide configuration (from /etc), not user's one.
Comment 2 Celibriem 2010-01-18 16:45:58 UTC 
The keyring is that a system wide configuration or a user one?
because --purge doesn't clear the password out of the keyring.
