A new IM for the iPhone is out – Fring. It even allows to make calls using Skype – great! Unfortunately I used a very poor password (no, it’s not test123) because I was to lazy to type and remember something long when I signed up on the phone. Can change it later anyways. Can I? At least the iPhone client does not offer any way to change the password. The Web site does not offer anything. The support wrote me:
Unfortunately, it is not possible to change the password you registered with.
We apologize for the inconvenience.If you are not satisfied with the password you used, we suggest opening a new account.
Not very smart… so I stopped using the application – if I cannot change my password to protect my account, what else will not work?

It is actually worse than this. I've been using Fring for a while on Windows Mobile. My fringID password has at least one "special character" in it. That is allowed on the WinMo app, but the iPhone app won't accept that as valid input!!!
