The APIs currently used by MC assume that all necessary parameters to connect to an account are supplied up-front. This isn't the case if passwords aren't saved.

After API for interactive credentials prompting has been designed (Bug #14003) and added to connection managers, the password can disappear from the connection managers' set of required parameters, which will in turn mean that an account with no password can be considered "valid".

Leaving this open as a metabug, but reassigning to telepathy-spec (it's not really MC's fault).
