Login email Case Insensitve #18

Closed aonanam closed 7 years ago

aonanam commented 7 years ago

The username (email address) is case insensitive.

eg: ShaneUser@TeSt.CoM and ShAnEuSeR@TeSt.CoM are the same user.

Is that not by design?

I hope not. Email addresses are case sensitive.

While it's technically possibly to do that when you set up a mail server, it's considered remarkably bad practice and there aren't any widely used email services that have case-sensitive addresses. Which tradeoff you take is up to you, but generally speaking, online logins treat email addresses as case insensitive as a result, to avoid user frustration/accidental multiple account creation.

Okay. I'll defer to your knowledge on this one.
