Pidgin has plugins for Google and Facebook now.

BTW, OTRv3 has pretty poor security these days, there is OTRv4 but it isn't ready for users yet.

I went to try the Pidgin Facebook plugin, and I couldn't login. There's no more app passwords as the plugin suggests, if you try to login without the 2 factor Facebook sends "Is This You?" notifications every time, but doesn't let you login if you say yes.

There's github issue[1] for it and no resolution, except a weird python script hack to do 2 factor which may or may not be reliable.

FB one doesn’t provide group chats as far as I’m aware. Maybe not Google one either?
