When I tried creating a password this is where I ran into issues , it
gave me this failed to authenticate slsr error . I'm a complete noob
at IRC so I don't know what I'm doing  and yes I use Android , getting
ready to or try to ditch all anti-consumer companies

Thanks for the help but the reason I decided to get a password is
because, I found a few channels on my client that weren't showing
anything despite them having 60 plus people . So our passwords like
optional for a bunch of people to see your message or can I just only
put a username

You set your password after you connect then set it in the client for
login

I think I know what the problem was , I think it showed the amount of
people who were joined in the channel , not the people that were
currently online .

Same thing. To show up in a channel list in IRC you need yo be
actively connected. That doesn’t mean actively at your keyboard or
actively paying attention to the channel, but everyone that shows up
is “online”. Often IRC regulars use a “bouncer” to let them stay
connected 24/7 and thus always online, in order to see messages from
when they were away from their keyboard.

If you don’t have an account yet you first need to connect without a
password, and then follow the registration guide
https://libera.chat/guides/registration

Once you have confirmed your email address then you can start filling
out that password field to log in while connecting.
