Fix forced lowercase username in login/registration flows #9329
Conversation
Lowercase doesn't make sense here (at least in German). I suggest removing it or creating a new translatable string.

Never mind, I now get what you mean. ^_^ Do you mean my changes/proposal or this flow in general? :) |
I mean just your changes - the design team needs to confirm that this is the behaviour we want (which I think we do). No, I don't think you can do anything atm. In case there is no activity from the design team here for a while, feel free to ping me and I can try to push the PR forward |

I agree with the proposal. I believe it's a pretty standard pattern to sentence-case Prompt Text for all input fields, even if desired values are typically not case sensitive (e.g usernames/email addresses). CC @pmaier1 in case there are particular system constraints for Log In/Reg we should be aware of here? |
|
I agree with this as well. |
This will cause legacy users with mixed case usernames to be entirely unable to log in. Modern servers forbid mixed case registration but existing accounts are out there. |
Oh, ok. Thanks for that. I didn't know. |
|
To clarify, this is referring only to if we force-lowercased everything in the username field. This PR is just changing the placeholders so our conclusion is to just merge it. |
