I can't vouch for "as designed", but it's working the way it always has in 
regard to the password. I assume the same is true for the user profile, 
although I have never tried that. If the first character of the password is a 
digit, the system prepends a 'Q'. If it isn't, it doesn't. Following that 
logic, '3XCORP' and 'Q3XCORP' are logically identical.
