Issue:
Profanity should allow legacy auth when explicitly requested
Some servers still require legacy auth and worked great with libstrophe < 1.9.3.


Discussion:
Are you talking about [XEP-0078](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0078.html)? As this is obsolete you should rather ask the server operator to not require this.
No doubt, the server should get updated.  For some corporate setups that's rather involved though.

I think he is talking about legacy auth, that was disabled by default here: https://github.com/profanity-im/profanity/issues/905.
So it is disabled in libstrophe 0.9.3 by default. And could be enabled with `XMPP_CONN_FLAG_LEGACY_AUTH`.
