What does it matter? They can edit users how they want. They can also change your pass, even if they doesn't know yours.

I know what it means. But anyway, they don't need to know our pass: they can change it if they want. And why will they log in with our accounts when they can edit them without being logged in as us?

Who the fuck cares about their BTP account anyway.  There is no security risk here.  There is nothing of value to be gained from any kind of stuff like that.  People don't give a shit about your account or your profile.  Deal with it.

Ya. It isn't like our credit card numbers are registered into our accounts. What does people can get? e-mail? MSN? Website URL? Only that. What else? Nothing.

what now? ARE they or ARENT they, like pio said ?!
 
Instead of asking, log out and try it with your own password to find out.

 they are case sensitive everywhere. When you type your password in it uses a hashing / other stuff function to turn what you typed into a long string of hex, then compares that to the string created when you set your password.
 
 It's a complicated function that uses more than one element of your profile, but I think it uses the same function for when you set it as when you edit it, so I don't know where the problem was...
 
 
I hope it answers.
 
btw, it could be nice if the lost pass function could be like e-mails providers. It will avoid those kinds of stories. No?
