What good is IRC in 2023 if we can not login to our NickServ accounts using Apple ID or Google account authentication? Using passwords or keys (as per the SASL implementation proposed by the outdated IRCv3) is outdated and insecure, we should be allowing larger corporations to manage authentication as they know how to protect our data best.
