...and if you're doing that through the riot.im client, see:

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/wiki/End-user-FAQ#how-do-i-registeridentify-to-nickserv

TL;DR:

- Chat to @freenode_NickServ:matrix.org to register / identify

- Chat to @appservice-irc to store the password for later use (I wonder
where it's stored and how secure it is in this case?)
