Add authentication support #41

Closed KapiX closed 6 years ago

On FreeNode you can register your nickname. When you connect to the server you are asked to send a message to NickServ with your password to authenticate. It would be nice if Vision could do that automatically when connecting.

Konversation has that feature.

Most servers allow you to do this using the server password, which Vision supports.

For example on Freenode:

https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration

"If not, you can supply your login details, in the form

:, as a server password and they will be forwarded to NickServ when you finish connecting. For example: /connect chat.freenode.net 6667 mquin:uwhY8wgzWw22-zXs.M39p "

Perhaps this tip can be added to Vision, under help or wherever it makes sense.

Oh, ok, I found it. It's not what I'd call easily discoverable :/
