Aug 7, 2014 at 15:53 comment added raptortech97 I literally just joined this site, but I'm pretty sure that's awful practice from a security standpoint, as it allows easy testing of accounts. Note that most popular websites force you to give both a username and a password, and will then say the combination wasn't right, to avoid giving away whether or not the account exists.
