With #343 there is the concept of client IDs, which can share the same user in ZNC. However all of the clients share the same credentials, which makes it a PITA when there is a compromise. It would be nice, if different client IDs could use different passwords, so loosing a mobile phone for instance, does not require me to change the password on all other devices.

Something similar could be achieved by a workaround proposed here. Basically you create new users for each client, which connect back on localhost to a master user.
