[IRCServices Coding] SENDPASS with encryption...

[Eric Murphy]

Possibly make it somewhat like the mail auth...

User does something like /msg nickserv sendpass
then nickserv sends the users registered email a random code
then the user takes the code and does /msg nickserv [some command] code
(possibly identify?) then nickserv lets them use /msg nickserv set
password as though they were identified.
