            Bug ID: 318475
           Summary: Don't force undesired usernames upon the user if his
                    choice is there unused... also just remember email
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: www.kde.org
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kde-www at kde.org
          Reporter: jidanni at jidanni.org

When visiting KDE sites, like the KDE identity site, a username is forced upon
the user.
He is not allowed to compose his own username even if his choice has not been
taken.
Nowhere else on the Internet is this observed.

This is all fine and good until one day of course he forgets it.

So he goes to the 'forgot password' link, and low and behold, he must recall
both his email address and his so-called username.

There isn't even a word there about what to do if he forgot the latter.

Name one major website that expects users to not forget more than their email
address.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Actually the user usually DOES NOT forget his password,
he forgets THE SILLY username forced upon him,
but that is all that is needed... to lock him out forever.
Actual Results:  
No need to waste sysadmin hours when all you need to do is follow Google or
Facebook practices.

Expected Results:  
If the user wants more security allow him to chose it don't force it.
