Cannot join liberachat server in irssi

So I installed irssi and typed the following commands into the irssi client

# SASL verification as written in archwiki
/SERVER ADD -ssl -ssl_verify -ssl_capath /etc/ssl/certs -network liberachat -port 6697 irc.libera.chat
/NETWORK ADD -sasl_mechanism plain -sasl_username username -sasl_password password liberachat
# Tls verification as written is arch wiki
/server add -auto -tls -tls_verify -network liberachat -port 6697 irc.libera.chat

But still it doesnt work . When I do "/CONNECT liberachat" it says -

10:30 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.libera.chat
10:30 -!- Irssi: Connecting to irc.libera.chat [93.158.237.2] port 6697

Actually I couldnt understand your question. What do you mean by making an account?  I mean afaik  I read the irssi documentation and there was no guide on how to create ur irc account. I just set my nickname by typing the following command.

/SET nick archissexy

And then I entertered the above mentioned commands.

In order to use SASL to log in to an account, you have to first connect to the network and create that account.

Can you tell me how to do that? Is there a way to login to irc without any sasl?

Don't use it.

Do you understand your initial post?
You're actively trying to use it. Just don't do that.
