    You shouldn't give out that information from your powder.pref, i'm logged in as you right now and can comment / save things. I did notice this though, I changed my name to Simon once, but when you post a comment, it still goes under your real name.

    He was referring to the fact that you can edit the name value in powder.pref though. It won't check if the name is right anywhere (and doesn't), so it will display that name instead. This doesn't have much use, except for fun (change your name to Simon, post a screenshot saying you know his password). Lua scripts or c++ code that checks the name also doesn't know if it's really valid. I have added checks for my mod before that made sure it was jacob1, I might have to check id number instead.

    Unrelated, here is the account with the name "admin": https://powdertoy.co.uk/User.html?Name=admin
    https://powdertoy.co.uk/User.html?Name=SKYLARK was also taken (and I asked, it isn't really him)
