Couldn't you layer your own account management and other conveniences on top of IRC ? Like use the underlying chansrv tech for auth but add your own layer on top for password retrieval or 2FA. You could always run a server which has dedicated bots doing the bounce per user. That way you never have to auth directly with the server, etc. Maybe a little over-complicated, but it lets you use the existing tech which is already widespread.

You can layer OTR over IRC, if you wish.
