    Posted: 01 December 2003 at 10:00am

When I use WWF and login, if the username field was enter as: username or password, and whatever was enter for the password field, it then send me to the main login page instead of the error page.  When I try to register new username as "username" and "password" , it then tell me that these usernames had already been use.

Is there any way to prevent users to login forum and then type in "username or password" in the username field?

Thanks!

there's probably some type of javascript that you can use to check the field for username or password... do a google search

The forum comes back saying that username or password are already in use as they are reserved words in the forum and it doesn't allow people to register with these names.

If you can't use usernames with 'username' or 'password' in them when registering then it shouldn't matter as no-ones username will contain these words.
