And why can't the information be linked to your account in some other way, having Graal###### account's suck.
It takes out the creativity.

How exactly would you change it? There is always going to be some form of identifier for accounts that you cannot change. The fact that the "Graal" numbers are even still visible is really the only problem. If you had no idea it even existed and it was never referred to as your account name (lets call it an account ID), but you still had the ability to change your community name (although we could call that your account name in the event we dont know "GraalXXXX" exists), then nothing would be different and we would be content with exactly this setup. You could still change your community name and not be any wiser of your internal account id. Basically, people's biggest issue with the "GraalXXXX" numbers is the fact that they can see them, therefore know they exist as their "real" account when in fact it's really just an identifier that shouldn't even be known about.
As for the password thing, I would only agree to custom passwords as long as the person customising their password was forced to use a strong password. Even stronger than the current one. EG: Must include at least 1 capital, at least 1 symbol and at least 1 number and ultimately be over 8 characters long. People come up with the stupidest and most obvious passwords sometimes that it doesn't even give hackers a challenge to decrypt, if they even have to decrypt anything at all. You could just know someone well enough to know they'd be stupid enough to make their password their cat's name.
