Registration & Account
Why register?
- Protect your nickname
- Access to channel management
- Ability to set vHost
- Better security (SASL + cloaking)
Registration
Via website or in IRC:
/msg M hello <email> <email>
Then open the link in the email to activate.
Login / Authentication
/auth <nick> <pass>
Better: enable SASL so login happens during connect.
Change password
/msg M M@services.midiandmore.net <old> <new> <new>
Password forgotten
/msg M requestpassword <email>
Set vHost
/msg h vhost <ident> <host>
Only once per week. Choose a neutral host (no abuse).
Security tips
- Use a unique password
- Enable SASL instead of identifying after connect
- Never share your password
