To use Sasl authentication to autologin to an account no matter which nickname you want to use :menuselection:`File --> Networks --> Configure networks` to bring up a network configuration dialog. Click on the autoidentify tab and press the checkbox for use SASL authentication. Enter your username on the IRC network in the username text field. Input your password into the password field so that you know how to auto identifify. You can also autoidentify without using sasl by clicking the Top checkbox. Nickserv is a sensible default for what the services is but it may be different on different servers and put your password in where you autoidentify.
