On creating a new Umbraco site the wizard prompts you to create an administrator account. It prompts for:
- Name – you enter [admin]
- Email – you enter [john@test.com]
- Password – you enter [testing123]
Then click “install”
The site loads. Append “/umbraco” to the site’s url and you can enter the backend.
You logout.
You try to login with the following details:
Username: admin
Password: testing123
You get an error – login failed for user admin. WTF???
Ok try this:
Username: john@test.com
Password: testing123
You’re in!
To be fair when entering the administrator username and password it does say underneath that “Your email will be used as your login”. But still shite in my opinion.
