10We recently added support for NickServ's ACCESS command to freenode's services. This allows you to define a list of hostmasks from which nickserv will recognise you before you have identified. Logging in as normal is still required, but matching an entry on this list will prevent NickServ from changing your nick if ENFORCE is enabled.

12For more detailed information, see NickServ's help topic:

14/msg NickServ HELP ACCESS

16There is one caveat to this feature: if you match an entry on your nickname's access list, you will not receive notices from NickServ asking you to identify. This, combined with nickname access lists that were migrated from our old theia database and have lain dormant since, may cause some auto-identify scripts to stop functioning.
17
18If you find that this is the case, the simplest workaround is just to remove all entries from your nickname's access list. Use
19
20/msg NickServ ACCESS LIST
21
22to see all entries, and
23
24/msg NickServ ACCESS DEL <hostmask>
25
26to remove them.
