You'll need to know your Facebook username and password to connect with
Profanity. The username can be found under the general account settings.
Type the following command to connect, but replace
[username]
with your username:
> /connect [username]@chat.facebook.com
You will then be prompted for your Facebook password, and once successfully
connected your online status indicator in the upper right corner of the screen will
change accordingly.
Connecting to Google chat
For a regular Gmail account, type the following command to connect, but replace
[username]
with your username:
> /connect [username]@gmail.com
You will then be prompted for your Gmail password. If the log in fails, it's likely
that you've received an e-mail in your Gmail inbox with the subject sign-in attempt
blocked. To allow Profanity to connect, you will need to enable less secure apps
by visiting the link in that e-mail. Alternatively, you can find it under the security
settings of your Gmail account.
