Google the internets for username & password setup.

Isn't that an horrific end-run around corporate security? or does irc.slack.com provide IP address whitelisting to restrict connections to those from within the company? Client SSL cert checking?

It just seems like a remarkable focal point that could give access to a lot of sensitive corporate data.

You have to explicitly enable that feature for your team.
