Not quite what you're saying but tangentially related: many web sites are confusing to the naive user. They ask you to register using your email address and a password, without making it clear that they don't mean the password for the email account. I'm sure more than a few people have been caught by that. It doesn't mean the website is malicious, but now the attack front on the password has been expanded.

There's nothing to stop one using a fictitious email address as a user name provided one remembers it when needed. qwertuyt@xxxxxx once worked for me along with similary stupid trials.
Except when they actually want the real address to confirm the registration, which is quite common. In any case, the point I was making is that the password should be different, something which may not be clear to every user.
