I'm going to guess when a new jsmith comes along and tries to sign up with the same password as another jsmith, you get a helpful 'Sorry, that user name and password combination are already in use.'

- ObligatoryRef 12y agoIf they're stupid enough to allow non-unique usernames I wouldn't bet on getting a helpful answer like that :)
- deciplex 12y agoJust because the requirement was remarkably dumb doesn't mean the developers that implemented it were.
- dbpatterson 12y agoYou do realize the helpful answer reveals another users username and password...
- deciplex 12y agoAnything other than allowing the user to register with the same username and password as someone else will already give it away, so I don't see the harm in spelling it out.
