Re: Editing Usernames

 

Hi Andrew

A problem with modifying the username is that the password hash is
also encoded and saved using the username as part of the hash
algorithm.  So in order to modify the username you would also need to
reenter the password in order for it to be re-encoded.  This might be
problematic - even superusers don't necessarily know the passwords of
the users.
