Modification Description:: Aim of the modification is to replace the username used at login with a login name, similar to IPB. The user will then login with the login name they specify, however their username will be what is listed in the memberlist, posts, profile etc.
The login will only be known to the user and administrators and possibly moderators if they have relevant permissions.
This can also add another layer of security if someone tries to access a user account thinking that the username is the loginname, the attacker will be trying to access a name that doesn't authenticate, this is only however if the user creates a different username from their login name.
The login name will be able to be changed in the UCP or ACP and is permissions based to allow / disallow login name changes the same was as username permissions are set. Disallowing certain login names will also be possible in the User & Groups tab in the ACP with all actions logged in the relevant logs.
Login name to be specified on registration form.
Modification Version:: 1.0.6
