I asked that same question before, here is the answer I received.... They username and password are used to manage the domain. It's NOT just username/password it's domain/username/password therefore when you are using the same it will let you, because the domain is NOT the same as the other one you used. You can of course tell it to use an EXISTING profile, which will then authenticate, and require the correct u/p combo.
