Bug Description

I've upgraded my Ubuntu to 17.04 and now Polari fails to connect to IRC. It just shows the spinner forever.

In journalctl I can see

    Bal 28 14:19:36 platonas org.gnome.Polari[7654]: Account GNOME (ZNC) disconnected with reason AUTHENTICATION_FAILED
    Bal 28 14:19:36 platonas org.gnome.Polari[7654]: Account FreeNode (ZNC) disconnected with reason AUTHENTICATION_FAILED

repeated every couple of minutes, but the Polari UI doesn't indicate that anything's wrong and doesn't ask me for the correct password.

For the record the problem was that the IRC server password got lost somehow, and went I went to System Preferences -> Online Accounts and entered it again, Polari started working.

The bug is that Polari doesn't show a password prompt after getting am AUTHENTICATION_FAILED error from Telepathy.
