admin Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Following an alert from Invision, we are disabling the feature that allows users to sign in with their display name. Users are requested to sign in with their email address from now on. Allowing users to log in with a display name can represent a security weakness for your community because display names are public information and malicious users may attempt to login to multiple accounts with common passwords until they find an account for which the passwords work. It is recommended that you only allow users to log in with their email address. Web Admin Team. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 As a minor detail, can you amend the text on the login screen to reflect this? I noticed this morning that it says login with your display name OR email. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
