For rcirc:

,----[ C-h v rcirc-authinfo RET ]
| rcirc-authinfo is a variable defined in `rcirc.el'.
| Its value is [...]
| 
| Original value was nil
| 
| Documentation:
| List of authentication passwords.
| Each element of the list is a list with a SERVER-REGEXP string
| and a method symbol followed by method specific arguments.
| 
| The valid METHOD symbols are `nickserv', `chanserv' and
| `bitlbee'.
| 
| The ARGUMENTS for each METHOD symbol are:
|   `nickserv': NICK PASSWORD [NICKSERV-NICK]
|   `chanserv': NICK CHANNEL PASSWORD
|   `bitlbee': NICK PASSWORD
| 
| Examples:
|  (("freenode" nickserv "bob" "p455w0rd")
|   ("freenode" chanserv "bob" "#bobland" "passwd99")
|   ("bitlbee" bitlbee "robert" "sekrit")
|   ("dal.net" nickserv "bob" "sekrit" "NickServ@services.dal.net"))
| 
| You can customize this variable.
