Ban email addresses as login names
Is the world run by a bunch of idiots? Why don't we ban the practice of sites using email addresses as login names?

This appears to be the number 1 source of phishing attacks.

I have a dummy email address where all incoming mail is deleted. I use that address whenever one is required for a a login.
