@ashuthe1, I believe you are mistaken. When a new user signs up:

1)Filling out the form:

The user must provide a unique username, which is then assigned as their LeetCode ID in the backend. The user can later change their name but not their LeetCode ID.

Even with different case sensitivity, I was not able to create an account. This means if a user already exists with a LeetCode ID/username like "rajkan888", no new user can create an account with similar usernames like "Rajkan888", "rajKAN888", "RAJKAN888", etc. Note: Do not confuse the username field during registration with the user's name.

2)Google sign-up:

LeetCode automatically uses the initial letters of your email as your username. For example, if the email is "[email protected]", the LeetCode ID might be "samsharma768".

@baoliay2008 i will surely create a PR to help you out
