Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.3) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux When I start kopete I am prompted for the kwallet password. The IRC-accounts however go online already without me having entered the password for kwallet. I have entered my username and password for freenode in kopete's settings, yet when going online, I am not automatically identified, which I thought would be the purpose of giving kopete my username and password for that server. Expected behaviour would be to identify the user on the server, if a username and password are available.
I have verified this bug, exact same issue
I'm currently also experiencing this bug with Kopete 0.12.5 (KDE 3.5.7 on FC-6). My workaround is currently to go to the account preferences when I first start Kopete and uncheck & recheck the "save password" checkbox. When I connect to the IRC server I am then automatically identified; but otherwise I am not.

The problem is that there are 2 auth mechanisms in IRC - a server password, and a 'services' (NickServ) password. Freenode further simplifies/confuses things by passing the server password through to NickServ. But you need to be able to specify both to be able to connect to any IRC server. We need to make this more intuitive in future.
Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.
Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained. Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
