You will be asked to create a [https://element.io/ Element] account if you don't have one yet.
  
If you don't use IRC ''directly'', you can still join our chat channels from your web browser via a [https://matrix.org/ Matrix] bridge by clicking on the channel names in the list above. You will be asked to create a [https://element.io/ Element] account if you don't have one yet.

== IRC authentication ==
 
 
 
You should register their nick with NickServ using:
 
 
 
/nick <USERNAME>
 
/msg nickserv register <PASSWORD> <EMAIL>
 
 
 
You will then receive an e-mail containing a link to activate you account. After doing so, you need to configure your client to auto-authenticate. The recommended way of doing that is using [https://freenode.net/kb/answer/sasl SASL authentication].
 
 
 
For Weechat:
 
 
 
/set irc.server.freenode.sasl_username <USERNAME>
 
/set irc.server.freenode.sasl_password <PASSWORD>
 
 
 
 
 
For matrix, the relevant docs is here: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/wiki/End-user-FAQ#how-do-i-registeridentify-to-nickserv
 
 
 
Freenode also supports authentication via [https://freenode.net/kb/answer/certfp TLS client certificates].
 
 
 
=== Matrix bridge ===
 
 
 
For the Matrix bridge ([https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/wiki/End-user-FAQ#how-do-i-registeridentify-to-nickserv relevant docs here]), you first need to choose you IRC nick by sending this to the bridge appservice:
 
 
 
/msg @appservice-irc:matrix.org !nick <USERNAME>
 
 
 
Then send this command to NickServ to register your account:
 
 
 
/msg @freenode_NickServ:matrix.org register <PASSWORD> <EMAIL>
 
 
 
You will then receive an e-mail containing a link to activate you account. You can then identify using:
 
 
 
/msg @freenode_NickServ:matrix.org identify <PASSWORD>
 
 
 
Then, ask the IRC bridge appservice to remember your password so that you get identified automatically:
 
 
 
/msg @appservice-irc:matrix.org !storepass <USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>
 
 
 
== IRC access list ==
 
 
 
To auto-voice people with a registered nick (only doable by people with +fA access modes will be able to do it), add them to the channel access list:
 
 
 
/msg chanserv access #swh-devel add zack +V
 
 
 
If you already have the right (+o ChanServ flag), you can make yourself an operator, with:
 
 
 
/msg chanserv OP #swh-devel
