[Bug 1071920] [NEW] When setting the account to use a password to auto-identify with the IRC server, empathy prevents the account from signing in.

[Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs]

Public bug reported:

I use irc.freenode.net, and when I set the password on the account, it
shows a red bar (retry/edit/cancel) in the contacts list, or "grant
access" in the accounts list.

Removing the password enables the account.
