<p>I am editing my information on the OSM profile page.<br>
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/bkowshik/account">https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/bkowshik/account</a></p>

<p>When I visit the page, the <strong>New Email Address</strong> field is automatically filled with my username.</p>

<p>So, when I click on <strong>Save</strong>, because the username is not a valid email address I am asked to enter a proper email address.</p>

<p>I think it is a bug with per-populating the <strong>New Email Address</strong> field.</p>
