If you tell Pidgin not to save your passwords, it will prompt you for them when you start it up. If this is a public computer, you should probably not be saving your passwords by going to Accounts > Manage and editing each account to uncheck "Remember password." You can set Pidgin to offline by selecting the Offline item from the drop-down list at the bottom of the buddy list window. To have Pidgin start up in Offline mode, you can either run pidgin with the "-n" option on the command line or go to Tools > Preferences > Status / Idle and uncheck the option "Use status from last exit at startup" and specify to start up in Offline mode.
