“if you type in your pw, it will show as stars”
bash.org

/msg nickserv... /query NickServ
then do the commands in the new tab. Feels slightly less wrong. :)IRC nowadays supports SASL auth, for exactly this purpose.
If you need to change passwords, use /raw NS ... or /raw NickServ ... or /quote ... or directly /NS if your client supports it. Never /msg.
The first night I shared it with a coworker who had never seen it I periodically received quoted text from it the rest of the night. They must have spent hours enjoying it.
I will ask any commenter that is about to post that everyone knows Bash.org to consider this: I have coworkers who don't recognize the Doom guy face who are really good at their programming jobs—they're just younger– not out of touch or anything like that. Likewise, they didn't know about bash
Do they even know what IRC is? :)
