I have had the same problem. My approach has been to establish a new password each time. It only works for one session. As soon as I leave Skype I have to go through the whole process again. Not fun.

I have the same problem. It was working wonderfully up until this morning! Seriously, this is how Skype deals with this problem? Are we on our own here [edited for inappropriate language]? I can't get on at all and I've changed the password for nothing. I'm posting a review right now on apple apps and posting on Facebook for my 500+ friends to read..

I'm having the exact same problem too, but on my iPhone 4 although my friend who has the same set up is fine. Skype; it's time you got yor finger out and fix this problem please!!

Same issue on my 2 iphones.

After uninstall + soft reset + reinstall, issue is gone (for now), but inbound calls don't ring!!

[nordwin]

Fix for iPad 1st and 2nd gen only: NO need to delete your Skype app. Simply hard boot the device by holding down the Home and Power buttons at the same time for 10 seconds. Ignore the slide to turn off screen. This will resolve any app issue. There are other ways of hard booting apps too.

This may or may not work on iPhones.
