Different log in and user names?

[PartiBoi]

Is there a mod to make the registration/log in names separate from the forum user names? I was on one board some time ago that did that, when you registered it asked what you wanted your log in name to be and what you wanted your user name to be. You logged in using your log in name and password and when you got logged in you would post under your user name.

I would love to see a mod like this, we are having issues with people running software trying to crack passwords by using staff and member lists and it clogs up the password strike system.

I am using VB Version 4.1.4

There's more than one mod that let's you log in using email address as well as username, and that might be another way to address the issue. But you could probably modify one of those to use a custom profile field instead of the email address, then the only problem would be stopping people from logging in with the username (since those other mods allow either).

The strikes system works by IP addresss. No one should be able to stop someone from logging in if they aren't using the same IP address.
