Public bug reported:

I have configured my irc.freenode.net account on Pidgin (using TLS and
port 6697) and saved the account credentials so that I am logged in
automatically. The login works only for the first time after adding the
account. But Pidgin doesn't log me in from the 2nd time of opening
Pidgin.

I have the 30 seconds limit to authenticate as my user to Freenode and
Pidgin does nothing at to authentication. Manually authenticating using
a command like '/msg NickServ identify <password>' within the 30 seconds
works fine.
