Uniqu username

Post by herman »

Hi,

I created a user but he changed his username. But the username he created was already in use. He was not able to login.

Shouldn't be there a check if a username already exists?

Or do is see this wrong since i am newbie to this system :-)

Basically if your password for the username is unique, he should still be able to login. Only if the username+password is identical for more than one user, it will fail.

We didn't yet include a check for this as we thought it to be a human checking facility that one password+user would not be the same :)
