As indicated in the doc, you should use 'ssh' when using sftp or bzr+ssh.

    tpj> host=bazaar.launchpad.net
    tpj> user=my_user
    tpj> password=my_password

And we don't support password for security reasons.

Nothing really wrong ;-)

launchpad avoid authentication.conf completely (for lack of
maturity of authentication.conf and other historical reasons),
look at 'bzr launchpad-login'.

bzr 1.5rc1 is out, please test it :)
