Bug Description
If you have the wrong password for a server Chatter just keeps trying to connect without indicating that the password is the problem.
Unfortunately the IRC messages don't give us a clear indication this is what occurred:
$ openssl s_client -connect irc.example.
PASS XXX
NICK chatter
USER chatter 0 * :Real Name
ERROR :Closing link: (<email address hidden>) [Authentication failure. Please visit us on freenode in #somechannel]
(and the connection is closed)

To post a comment you must log in.
Possibly the best thing we can do is take the text of the last ERROR received and show that to the user, i.e. they would see:
"Closing link: (<email address hidden>) [Authentication failure. Please visit us on freenode in #somechannel]"
Which is super-techy, non translatable but better than nothing. We could scan for the "Authentication failure" string but that doesn't seem reliable.
