*** Original post on bio 1786 at 2012-11-12 00:00:13 UTC *** I dislike this string (and would have r-ed it), can we please change this to just "AUTHENTICATE <base64 encoded nick, user and password not logged>"? Why is there a comma in "<base64 encoded password*,* not logged>"? That doesn't make sense. (Also, for what it is worth I knew that we were logging this in plain text and did not find it to be an issue. I don't even think this needed patching.)

*** Original post on bio 1786 as attmnt 2085 at 2012-11-12 13:04:00 UTC *** String change to be even less vague ;) (In reply to comment #5) > (Also, for what it is worth I knew that we were logging this in plain text and > did not find it to be an issue. I don't even think this needed patching.) I should have caught this when reviewing the original SASL patch. I think it needs patching because either we log passwords or we don't. Since we take care not to log them for IDENTIFY, we shouldn't log them here, even if it is just to avoid possible user confusion and concern.
