Ergo offers account registration to allow users to do things like use history and bouncer features, register channels, etc.<br>

In clients such as HexChat, server passwords may conflict with account passwords, so the following setting should be enabled if you wish to use accounts with clients such as HexChat.<br>
Note that this could under some circumstances be considered a security hazard, as a user with an account does not need to know the server password to connect,
although that user would have needed to register an account before the server had a password, and then a password would need to have been set after the fact, so this can be considered a very small concern if your setup always has had a password.<br>

Also keep in mind that this setting has no effect if your network does not even have a password at all.
