I just downloaded Palringo, hoping that it might work with Facebook. (I was using Nimbuzz, but it failed every time.)
Surprize, surprize! Palringo doesn't work with Facebook, either. At least, every time I try to log in, I receive the message:
"Could not authenticate captcha"
What in the WORLD does that mean...and when will the Facebook module be fixed? I see on other threads that it's benn broken for a LONG time!!!
PLEASE "get around to' this repair. I really care about Facebook chat as much as any other.

Have you logged into the Facebook site yourself to make sure that your account isn't requiring security validation or something similar?

I'm also getting this exact same message while trying to log in through my LG Incite running Windows Mobile 6.1. Version of Palringo is 2.0.1. I have logged into Facebook on a desktop computer, as well as on the Netfront mobile browser and Skyfire browsers on my phone. When logging in with Skyfire it asked me to verify my date of birth, but all of the other means gave me no trouble logging in.
The exact message given to me is "Could not authenticate captcha. Logging into the Facebook websi". After that it is cut off. I've uninstalled Palringo and reinstalled. I've removed the service and re-added it. I've even added the service with an incorrect password to see if it will give me a similar message. When the password is incorrect, the message returned is, "Login Incorrect."

I have experienced the same problem. My facebook chat hasn't actually been able to connect in weeks, only now is it giving this message.
Both phone (blackberry) and desktop app.
I have tried changing passwords as well, no luck. It knows when the password is bad, but when it's good it won't connect
