At the login (index.php), whenever someone types anything (and I mean anything) into the Username input box and clicks the Login button it will sign that person in as whatever they type into the Username box. I checked the usr table in the database and it gives that user the following: Firstname-(whatever they typed into the Username box), Lastname - McAuthentication, Email - [email protected], Password-(is blank), and it assignsthem to an Institution. If anybody can shed some light on this problem and help figure this out
I would greatly appreciate it.

Hehehehehe... 
That means that someone enabled the "None" authentication method for that institution! 
The "None" plugin means no authentication is performed! It's only for testing purposes, and creates people with those weird names.
To solve it, just remove that auth instance from the institution, and delete the users.

Thanks Nigel! We have a small group of people working on this project and one of them enabled the "None" option. Problem fixed!!3 results
