This problem happened to me and I also ended up recreating your solution independently.

The better situation would be a check to only add the login if a duplicate was found. The problem with that approach is that you would have to traverse all the users to know if you had a duplicate.

Else, you could add a flag to the database when the user format had duplicates.

This is kind of an annoying bug, because lay users get a bit confused
