Hey,

I just came across a wonderful message obn master

»Security Warning!
Please verify your password.
For security reasons you may be occasionally asked to enter your password 
again.«

The username is not editable. 

The catch with this feature  is, that it does not consider that other user 
backends can do a login with a name that differs from the username.
E.g. with LDAP you can login with your email as username, LDAP gives back your  
username like 'Alice' to be displayed. Now, you cannot change 'Alice' to your  
username.  It's not an exotic setup.

Could this be improved, please? 
(Why does it show up anyway?)

Cheers
Arthur
