Log in bug/feature?

When logging in I only require the first letter of my username to get in (along with other correct details)

eg. S - works
as does Sq
as does Squee.


I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a feature though, but I presume it could pose a thread to security...

Re: Log in bug/feature?

no really a threat at all as everyones names are given to you in the attack page then you have their msn adress then all your missing is their password

so the only 2 that need to be kept safe are e-mail+pass

and yes it has been pointed out :P

Glad it doesnt effect security!

How can it effect security?

Re: Log in bug/feature?

Know if it was just the first character for username, email, password it would be a big deal..

It also makes it much easier when logging on with a phone, and not have super special characters...
