I never thought to even try that. Is that true for any user? So if someone wanted to change their user name it is possible? Not that I would make a point of it, but I have had a case where they used their password, and we had to close and reopen a new membership account. In that case the change via the database would have been much faster.

Yes it is the case for all users. I am talking general WordPress here. If you have any other plugins that store the login name then this would be a problem. But all good plugins should use the WP table (users) to get the login name and user id pairing.
I guess this is not something the WordPress team will tell you but I have done this many times. Try it on your test site...

Great! I'll give it a whirl.. I'm doing this for all my clients to help remove the threat, so that would be a bit quicker.

let us know how you make out... there is also some wp plugins that do this for you... though they tend to be overkill...
