[Bug 1042455] [NEW] Unable to set Nickserv password in IRC account options

[Dylan McCall]

Public bug reported:

In the options for an IRC account, I can only set an identifier and an
alias. In Ubuntu 12.04, empathy-accounts provides a Password field to
automatically authenticate with Nickserv, but that field is missing
here. So, there is no way to set a password within the Online Accounts
settings panel.

I can work around this by running empathy-accounts and filling in the
password using Empathy's own connection parameters dialog, but that
solution does not seem particularly nice.
