Slack is unusable. Pidgin and Finch are marginally better. slack-libpurple works with a password generated from the Local Storage and Cookies of a browser session as follows 1:

  • Get the main token ($MAIN) via devtools->Application->Storage->Local Storage (search for xoxc-)
    • Search for xoxc then find it under localConfig_v2/teams/token
  • Get the Cookies d token ($COOKIE) from:
    • devtools->Application->Storage->Cookies-> d

Join them together with a space so it is $MAIN $COOKIE and use that as the password for Pidgin.
