If you want to install bitlbee into another machine and want to use same configuration, you can simply copy /var/lib/bitlbee/your_name.xml into /var/lib/bitlbee in the new machine.

$ cp /var/lib/bitlbee/my_user.xml /path/to/other/machine    # copy user config file into the other machine.

Watch out file permissions. Do not make them readable for everyone.

$ sudo chown bitlbee:bitlbee my_user.xml
$ sudo chmod 600 my_user.xml
$ sudo mv my_user.xml /var/lib/bitlbee

/home/username/.irssi/config
/home/username/.irssi/default.theme

Lancer irssi
Se connecter au serveur bitlbee, ici local : /connect localhost
S'identifier sur bitlbee : identify
→commande /OPER <username> pour ne pas avoir le MDP dans l'historique de frappe

se déconnecter d'un compte : account <account name> off
renommer un contact : rename <oldnick> <newnick>
sauver la config : save

bitlbee config : /var/lib/bitlbee

Lancer un script :
/script load nicklist.pl

There are two kinds of passwords in BitlBee:

  The identify password. The one you once set using the register password, and now always use with the identify command to load all your accounts and settings.
  Account passwords, the password(s) to your IM account(s). 

In both cases, the password is just a setting. But for security reasons, the setting is write-only. This means that you can change it, but when you try it, BitlBee will always say the setting is empty/unset.

 1 20:56:51 <wilmer> set password newpassword
 2 20:56:51 <root> Setting changed successfully
 

If you changed the password of your IM account (via the provider's website, using their native client, or however), you can change the password in your BitlBee configs so you can connect to the account again like this. Assuming you changed the password of your first account:

 1 20:56:56 <wilmer> account 0 set password newpassword
 2 20:56:56 <root> Setting changed successfully
