Why am I even able to set them if I can't use them AND you still allow the other to login anyway??

It seems that a number of airlines do this, why is their security SOOOOO crappy??

Ya know, I'm in a mood so I'm going to write them a nice little note!

I have the same situation as you. Can login using MP # and pin, but cannot use username and password (changed both). Is this an ongoing tech issue or a security concern? I never received any email saying my account was compromised so I'm not sure how to proceed.
