[#38997] - Adding a user with the username as an email address
- Closed

- Build: 4.2-dev
- # 38997
Steps to reproduce the issue
This is more of a question rather than reporting an error. Add a new user to the backend with the username as something like xxxxx@gmail.com. Add the other fields as required and assign the user to the Registered group. Save the user.
Attempt to login with this username and password
Expected result
New account should not be created or, if it is, it should be possible to login with this username.
Actual result
New account is created. Attempt to login fails with "Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet."
System information (as much as possible)
J! 4.2.3
Additional comments
If we should not be using email accounts as usernames (which I agree with)—see #29403—then the new account should not be created with some explanation about why email addresses cannot be used as usernames (unless someone has installed a third-party plugin that allows email addresses to be used as usernames in which case I don't know what you would do about that).

Thanks, @brianteeman. It was completely my error. We can dismiss this as an issue.
I goofed: I created an account (in the backend of a website with a similar name and frontend to a completely different website) and tried to login to a different website and, of course, I don't have an account there! Sorry to have bothered anyone.
I do appreciate your help on this.
I have no problem registering and logging in with an email address as a username. In any version of Joomla
