Bug #: 29032
Summary: username case corrupted for password recovery
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User login
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
The password recovery is to the least confusing.
I enter "cyrilh" all lowercase as username, and press "Email me new
password"... the result is a message as follow, with different case "Cyrilh",
and stating that it is case sensitive:
{{{
Login error
There is no user by the name "Cyrilh". User names are case sensitive. Please
check your spelling, or use the link below to create a new user account.
}}}
Also notice that the "Email new password" button with username "cholweck" will
give me the same error message but not altering the case... You can easily
reproduce those two scenarios to observe the bug.
I believe that my username is cyrilh, this is kind of confirmed by the fact
that the login button will tell me "cholweck" user does not exist while
"cyrilh" password is invalid.
I mark the bug as major as it prevents me completely from logging in.
