Facebook Chat for Pidgin is an add-on for the Pidgin chat client that allows users to integrate their Facebook chat conversations with the rest of their messages within their preferred chat client.

Once Facebook Chat for Pidgin has been downloaded and installed, the software will then connect to Facebook to draw in chat data without the use of an API key. It accesses your data by logging into Facebook servers and obtaining your Friends list and Messenger conversations. Because this process requires you to log into your account, it will need the email address and password that you use to access Facebook.

However, the one thing that Facebook Chat for Pidgin seems to be missing is a link that can allow you to easily access your actual account page from the add-on. In the event that you would need to check Facebook for your account details while using this add-on, you would need to open a new browser manually and navigate to the page yourself.

Overall, Facebook Chat for Pidgin is a great plug-in for those that like to manage their social media accounts from one chat client, such as Pidgin. In some ways, Facebook Chat for Pidgin makes Facebook even easier to use.
