Thanks for the quick response.
 
I am not quite certain how having a user named "Salty Dog" or "CodeWarrior", for example,  poses any security threat. There is really no way to inject code into the username field, so I am just trying to figure out why I shouldn't disable it. I have already had 3 users complain that they couldn't use their names because of these functions. Maybe it is just an aberation, but I am surprised this hasn't come up before.

There are as these are field names in the database that contain sensitive data.]]> Wed, 06 Jun 2007 17:46:50 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/username-restrictions_topic23473_post123418.html#123418 <![CDATA[Username restrictions : Why is it that you have hardcoded...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/username-restrictions_topic23473_post123415.html#123415 Author: cyrick

Why is it that you have hardcoded the inability to create a username with the string "salt" or "code" in it? Are there any security concerns to disabling that function?
 
Thanks
