SECURITY FLAW!

Post by ryanwkan
As a fellow developer, I am deeply concerned about the security of your app.

I signed up today, picked my username and password and guess what? My PUBLIC username defaulted to my PASSWORD!!!

How is it that you even have my password? Isn't it supposed to be encrypted?

Concerned

Did you see that the fields on Signup are Username, Nickname, Password, Confirm Password? Your Nickname overrides your username for display.

Please post device (make and model), OS (make and ver) and password (j/k on that one) This has not been produced before, and as a single instance is suspect.

Fields when registering are:
Username
Password
Nickname (not repeat password). So you put your password as your nickname. .

Just change Nickname and your password will not be published anymore
