Is there anyway to turn off the feature where the forum logs the failed password the user entered? I find it rather "unsecure" to so easilly (For other admins) to access the users passwords.
Example:
I try to loginto this forum as "ernesto" with the password "google".
Sadly, my username is "Ernesto" and not "ernesto" so now the admin here can see my password.
So, my question: Can I turn this off in my own forum in any way?

The data is ONLY visible to forum admins, people who already can change the user's password if they so choose to. And even though the forum stores passwords as md5 hashes and admin could always modify the code to log ALL login attempts. Ultimately, if you don't trust your administrator, who do you trust?
You need to edit the SQL schema if your want to change case sensetivity of the logins.
