https://identity.kde.org does not handle all errors properly. If you register an identity and use a name with 2 letters, such as: 1st. name: Ab 2nd. name: Cd Then upon confirmation on https://identity.kde.org there will be breakage. The "name" drop-down-list (tested on Mint-distro's firefox) will be empty and it will be impossible to continue to finalize the ID registration procedure. The e-mail address is "burned" (admin interference required to reuse it). The identity created cannot be used at all. No error message is given at all. Using a longer name such as "Abcde Fghij" will succeed of course. Fix: Just exempt the user from entering names which are too short or treat 2-letter-names properly in the website's html/JS code.

I want to work on this issue. Can you please post the link to the source code for https://identity.kde.org ?
The code can be found in websites/identity-kde-org on git.kde.org. Please note that we intend to perform a complete system replacement sometime before the end of this year, and in doing so we'll eliminate usernames as a concept entirely.
well so far all has stayed the same, and its mid february
