Re: [savannah-help-public] [sr #109310] Loophole Creating Account

[Rick Johnson]

Okay, as long as you know and it gets logged as an issue.
It creates customer pain.  Some ask for help sooner than others.
We who are caught in the loop are few, so not much of a problem for you, I
guess.
Many are probably okay with using different usernames.

Maybe Lastpass causes a pattern of use that enables the problem.

Just tryin' to help.
