If 100% of the visible data is "public", then why authenticate at all? Either just ask for email address for reporting, or don't ask at all. | |

If "the only data stored on the user account is his email address", that means that once you are logged in the entire site is read-only. So the only point of the login is to restrict access to certain users. What could an unauthorized user do if they know a username and guessed the password? | |
