I would NEVER give my jabber account password to some site out there!

That's why token authentication systems like Kerberos or OpenID were
designed.
You give a thirdparty only your ID. You do not give it your full
credentials (like password).
You give it only to your trusted authentication provider(jabber server
or OpenID server) to prove that you are you, and it tells the
thirdparty, that you proved that you are you, and it may let you in.
