I am wondering when the passkey feature will be implemented?

The reason I ask is because, of late, it seems that user names are being duplicated
with no regard for previous or present usage.

When this happens is messes up the scoring system.
It totally causes one's combined ranking to be inaccurate, and it seems then that,
there is no way to discern the actual standings.

Also, once a squatter appears, there seems to be no way to correct the situation.

On a team with less than twenty members, there are now two such occurrences.

I really don't understand why someone would not have enough pride in themselves as to create their own unique identity.

Passkey is already available in the v6 clients. Use it.

However, using passkeys does not prevent name squatters. However, a new stats lookup so that you can sort by your user name AND passkey could be very helpful. I think that has already been suggested.

I suppose a passkey "could" be used to prevent this in the future, but not sure how that would work. Something we'd need Pande Group to discuss.

Thanks, 7im, we have been using it since its inception, for what it's worth!

It is very disappointing that, after all of this time, someone can come along and crap on your work.
