- Signing in is now case-insensitive for your email address, and editing your email on the account page stores it in a consistent lowercase form — so a stray capital letter can never lock you out of your own account.
Notes from the Archivist
A quiet safeguard against a trap we'd left half-open. The archive had always tidied your email to lowercase when you registered or asked for a password reset, but the account page's edit-email field didn't, and sign-in insisted on an exact match — so an account changed to "Jason@…" could leave you locked out the next time you typed "jason@…" out of habit. Now every door treats your email the same way: stored in one canonical form, and recognised whatever case you happen to type. The feature behind it — editing your email and display name — turned out to have been quietly working all along; this is the corner of it we hadn't swept.
