[Openstreetmap] What is the user name for Openstreetmap?

I've been testing the web pages, the java applet and the osm-editor
today, and there seem to be some inconsistencies regarding user name.

The web page ask for 'email address' while osm-editor ask for
'Username' and the java applet ask for 'User'.  Are these programs
using the same user database?  I'm only registered on the web page,
and my "user name" there is 'pere at hungry.com'.  Is this the same user
name I'm supposed to use in osm-editor and the java applet?

If the programs use the same user database and the same user names, I
would be less confused if they used the same words when askign for the
same thing.  Perhaps all should be using 'email address'?

What do you think?

BTW: I'm unable to log in using the java applet, and I'm unable to get
  any feedback about login success or failure from osm-editor so I do
  not know if I'm able to log in there or not.
