I agree with Mandlea in the sense that this should be an option for the webmaster for end users. webmasters can (and probably should, I am not a programmer so the technical discussion is beyond my knowledge) benefit from having a display name different than login name, but for end users this is confusing at least. why not make it an option? same goes for the 'remember me' feature that obviusly many people want so a hack exists, why not include it as an option and warn of the dangers? I dont say that security is not important, but for some sites is a trade off with ease of use. in my future site there is not much to be hacked, if someone gets the password of a user he/she can post on that name, change the info, the user will be pissed but no other major damage is done (if its not a webmaster accoutn w/more rights). on XOOPS for example one could ask for a display & login name, but this is a very technical community compared to most sites...
