Here's one reason why it's not a brilliant platform, check the URL after clicking log in:

edit: Seems to only happen after clicking log in on the main page right side bar rather than the header one.

Can you email [email protected] to help us reproduce this? It sounds like a form is getting submitted somehow, which shouldn't happen. I haven't been able to reproduce in Firefox, Chrome, or Safari yet.

Sorry about this–we take security seriously.

Thanks, I've dropped you an email with the steps to reproduce. Somehow I had landed on a particular ladder page and it looks like it may have an older style log in modal.

No, it might be insecure, but that doesn't mean that it's not brilliant. The platform is not designed for security. It's designed to play a game while coding, and it does that.
