Actually, sometimes it's easy to guess somebody's else login and password. In my case it's super-easy.

There are also few cases, when the same login and password were used twice. Recently somebody from China became a person from OH.

>Yeah, but.. I have no idea what your login name is.. so I can't try and guess your password.

>>My online bank account user is several numbers which actually displays, and then I have to enter a passcode,username,2 letters of a secret word and they are all in "*"s, it's actually a good idea, because not everyone has a unique password, so if the user was visible, they could attempt to login using common passwords. You don't want someone logging in on the UT and playing with your messages!

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
