register allows empty name but cannot login

Asked by k

I was able to register with just whitespace as my full name, but I could not log in to the site.
I could then edit my account information somehow (was I logged in??), and changing the spaces to a single character fixed the problem. I could not reset my name back to spaces as it seems the account editing page correctly checks for whitespace-only names (or the site could handle them at login and then the check here would be unnecessary).

The whitespace issue is being handled in the linked bug.

Since you are able to log in now (after providing a name), this question seems to be answered.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask k for more information if necessary.
