Can not add password to IRC account via Online Accounts

[Keith Drummond]

Ubuntu 12.10 Beta 1 (currently up-to-date)

When I add an IRC account to online accounts and add my details (username and password) I should be allowed to log in.

What happens is that the password is not accepted and an error is displayed asking me to grant access. The only way I can log in is opening a chat window with nickerv and submitting my password manually. Though this is not remembered and at next startup I am faced with this error again.

The IRC account plugin is provided by Empathy, s will need an upstream bug report if the password authentication is not working.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
