This issue seems to be very old but would be really useful. Does someone plan to implement it in profanity one day ?

"The XMPP library profanity uses doesn't support in-band registration for security reasons" what security reasons ?

Thanks for the request. I've added it to the 0.4.0 release milestone, 0.3.0 should be out as soon as the final bug is fixed.

The XMPP library profanity uses doesn't support in-band registration for security reasons, but I can see this as a useful feature, I imagine there are plenty of private servers out there that allow it.

libstrophe has example of in-band registration: https://github.com/strophe/libstrophe/blob/master/examples/register.c . I've used that to register users on my test server. Good implementation also requires support of forms. The example can be a starting point for profanity.
