## Irssi

Recent Irssi versions include built-in SASL support via `/network`:
Irssi includes built-in SASL support via the `-sasl_mechanism`,
`-sasl_username`, and `-sasl_password` options of `/network`.
The following commands assume you are using a network called "liberachat"
which is included in the default configuration for irssi 1.4.1 and later.

```irc
/network add -sasl_username <login> -sasl_password <password> -sasl_mechanism PLAIN LiberaChat
/server add -auto -net LiberaChat -tls -tls_verify irc.libera.chat 6697
/network modify -sasl_mechanism PLAIN -sasl_username <login> -sasl_password <password> liberachat
/save
```

If you do not have a "liberachat" network, either replace "liberachat"
with the network name you are using or make a new network entry
and set up SASL at the same time with:

```irc
/network add -sasl_mechanism PLAIN -sasl_username <login> -sasl_password <password> liberachat
/server add -auto -net liberachat -tls -tls_verify irc.libera.chat 6697
/save
```

Libera.Chat entry looks like this:

```irc
LiberaChat: sasl_mechanism: plain, sasl_username: TheCoolestNick, sasl_password: (pass)
liberachat: sasl_mechanism: plain, sasl_username: TheCoolestNick, sasl_password: (pass)
```

All three items (mechanism, username, and password) must be set.
