Bug #: 37190
Summary: Case-sensitive usernames, new UID
Product: Wikimedia Labs
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Jack_phoen
ix
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: j...@countervandalism.net
CC: benap...@gmail.com, rlan...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
I was logged into labsconsole as [[User:Jack Phoenix]] (UID #47), and I noticed
that Special:NovaKey wasn't showing my SSH key. I knew it could sometimes be
like that, so I decided to log out and log back in to fix that issue.
However, at the login screen, I forgot to capitalize the 'P' in my username. I
entered my password correctly, but instead of MediaWiki whining about invalid
user/pass combo or somesuch, I was logged in...to a new account, [[User:Jack
phoenix]] (note the lowercase 'p'), UID #395 and 0 edits.
Trying to log in as "Jack Phoenix" logs me in as "Jack phoenix" (account with
UID #395).
