So, as of mIRC 7.48, we now have built-in SASL support. Awesome! But due to how it is implemented, its not possible to use it in the case of an IRC server that requires a password to connect, because the way its implemented is a "one or the other" way.

I for example run a few servers of which one is a server where I have some users connect with a server password that is of the format "username:password". These credentials are not the same as their NickServ/account credentials. Because of the lack of an additional field where they can specify an additional "username:password" for their account, I can't make these users use the new built-in functionality and so still have to make them use the Perform-settings to identify to their account that way.

It would be great if there was an additional field for account credentials in the future.
