User email should not be case sensitive

Problem/Motivation

If a user registers an account using capital letters in their email address, to be able to reset their password later they need to enter email with exact same capitalization. If they enter email as all lowercase or a different capitalization from original, they aren't able to reset their password.

(I suspect there should be a duplicate issue, but wasn't able to find it).

Proposed resolution

User email should not be case sensitive

Remaining tasks

<!-- See https://drupal.org/core-mentoring/novice-tasks for tips on identifying novice tasks. Delete or add "Novice" from the Novice? column in the table below as appropriate. Uncomment tasks as the issue advances. Update the Complete? column to indicate when they are done, and maybe reference the comment number where they were done. -->

  • Needs backport to D7

    After being applied to the 8.x branch, it should be considered for backport to the 7.x branch. Note: This tag should generally remain even after the backport has been written, approved, and committed.

  • PostgreSQL

    Particularly affects sites running on the PostgreSQL database.

    I believe this should be closed now - the use case of having multiple users with the same email in different capitalization was addressed in https://www.drupal.org/sa-core-2024-004 → .

    I've just tested the behaviour on the Drupal 10.3.10 and PostgreSQL and it looks perfectly in line with various proposals in this issue:
    - account registered for testEmail@test.com
    - account registration attempted for testemail@test.com - failed with "Address already taken" message
    - password reset for attempt for testemail@test.com sent a password to stored in the system testEmail@test.com

    I've clearly mixed some wires here - user mail field is case sensitive.

    Sorry for the noise.
