i think it was a common sense change. people in the chat box were chatting with their user names, so it makes sense to protect the actual credentials people login with.
Makes sense. Seems like a security oversight in the first instance letting people use username for chat and login

Maybe some accounts got brute forced. It always was a weakness that you could see everyone's login names in the trollbox.
BTC-E is way too unstable for my trust. I hate that it's the biggest litecoin exchange (so far).
I always immediately withdraw my coin when im done transacting with it (if btc-e will let me).

BTC-E just changed the way you login, and under the news, a lot of people are commenting their account was compromised and bitcoins lost. Anyone know what's going on at BTC-E?
