Hi,


  Currently telepathy only allows one to set passwords at the initial request
for
  a connection.. Sometimes it's preferred to not save your password in account
  information though. So a UI must determine before the connection is requested
  if it should ask the user for a password. Which is easy enough if the 
  well-known password field is required. But for other protocols it might be
  that whether or not a password is required can only be determined at
connection
  time (IRC springs to mind as a protocol with optional passwords)


  Such an interface would also be usefull when joining password protected MUCs
