Actual behavior

Created account: Andrew.Golota@github.com / Test123
Try to log in: Andrew.Golota@github.com / Test123 | success
Try to log in: andrew.golota@github.com / Test123 | failed

Expected behavior

Due to best practices login shouldn't be case sensitive.

Try to log in: Andrew.Golota@github.com / Test123 | success
Try to log in: andrew.golota@github.com / Test123 | success

@NGPixel commented on GitHub (Feb 23, 2018):

While it's an easy fix, I won't apply it to the 1.x version, as users may already have non-lowercase emails in their DB. This could prevent some users from logging in after an upgrade.

However, this has been addressed in 2.x.
