I just tried three possibilities for my password, as entered, all upper-case, and all lower-case. Even mixed case worked! They all allowed me into my account.

I guess that goes along with their process of flagging my account because my email user name is Marriott. I was told I can't use that... ummmm
I just tried the same thing. Case sensitivity isn't a huge security issue but I'd be curious if they are stored in plain text, which is.
