[solved] weechat How *Not* To Hide Password in Input Bar.

geekinthesticks · 2014-06-20 10:16:40

I am trying to setup weechat with znc. I need to enter the -password option in the input bar. Since it's going to be long as in username/network:password I don't want weechat to hide what I am typing by displaying "*", so I can easily spot and correct typos. There must be an option to stop weechat trying to obscure my password, but I can't find it. Can someone please enlighten me?

I suggest you install the `iset' plugin, as it's very helpful in situations like this. As far as i know, the only setting that covers the `hide the password' issue, is `irc.look.nicks_hide_password' and its default value is `nickserv', so it should hide the password when identifying on nickserv. Still, if you're concerned about typos, you should add the server with a fake password as `aaaaaa' then use iset to change the password, as it is in plain text (or just do `/set irc.server.<your znc server>.password username/network:password').

Thanks, the iset plugin looks very useful. In the end I solved the problem using my largest sledgehammer and editing weechat.conf by hand:)
