 * Partial matching doesn’t work consistently.
    I add “admin” and “root” to the 
   partial match list, when I test this is what I get:
 * admin – rejected
    admin 1 – rejected root – rejected root 1 – accepted

 * Please try the newly released v3.3 of the plugin. It should fix this bug. It 
   also includes a tool you can use to test how it would treat usernames.
