Do usernames HAVE to be case-sensitive?

  • Is it possible for usernames to not be case-sensitive? I do want the password to remain case-sensitive, but with the username being that way, it throws off a lot of my subscribers.

  • This is a question/request that has been around for years. The major reason they are upper and lower is for security. It would take more time for a hacker to use all the possible upper/lower combinations to find out a users login id.

    There are a couple private plugins that will allow this – but they are not supported by the forum if an issue crops up with one…or you get hacked.
