I told empathy not to save my password for this account. What generally happens is that I start empathy, it asks for my password but I ignore this request because I'm doing other things. Some time later, I check the empathy window, see that it's asking for my password so I enter my password. And then it tells me that the connection failed, so I have to enter my password a second time to get it to reconnect. I'd expect empathy to automatically reconnect using the password I just typed if the initial connection timed out (I assume this is what is happening).
