These commands open their own short connection, separate from a running norc.

norc account register me@example.org --save    # create the account, write its config
norc account passwd me                          # change the password
norc account unregister me --purge              # delete the account on the server and locally
norc account list                               # configured accounts (and running instances)
Command Description
register <jid> create the account on the server (in-band registration, if the server allows it); --save writes the account config (name: -a, default: the jid)
unregister [jid] delete the account on the server; asks for confirmation (--yes skips it); --purge also removes the account config and local state
passwd [jid] change the password
list configured accounts

unregister and passwd refuse to run while a norc process uses the account.
