I'd love to see this implemented, however it looks like development on this bug is a little stuck. Proposal: User should be able to log in to the system with either their user name or the email they have associated with their account. Issues: PRIVACY ISSUES WITH SHOWING AN ACCOUNT EXISTS — If a login is attempted with an email address only and no password the login error should be updated as follows CURRENT: "Login error There is no user by the name "[email protected]". Check your spelling, or go to Wikipedia's signup page to create a new user account." PROPOSED: "Login error The user account for "[email protected]" is not found or your password was entered incorrectly. Check your spelling or password and try again. If you do not have an account you can _create one._" MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS WITH SAME EMAIL — If multiple account exist with the input email address but no password is entered… A. Ideal experience would be that the form cannon be submitted unless login and password fields have valid content, login button would disabled B. If form validation cannon be fixed, the above error should be displayed even if the email address is valid for a user C. If a login (email) and password combination are valid they can only point to 1 account, that account should be logged in to. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
