 * To any normal user, why would “Hackable” sound like a good feature for a login
   box ?

 * I have no association with the plugin, but I think I might be able to contribute
   to answering your question in the proper context.
 * Unfortunately, incorrect use of the terms “hacking” or “hacker” has so diluted
   their true meaning, that they are frequently – if not almost always – immediately
   assumed (by the “normal user”) to be synonymous for actions that disrupt, deface,
   circumvent, or gain unauthorized use of and access to, software and applications.
   I think that’s technically referred to as “cracking”, rather than hacking.
 * I think – meaning just my personal interpretation – that the intention of the
   term “Hackable” in the plugin description refers to the ability of the plugin
   to be modified, molded, customized, edited and easily adapted by the end user
   to suit their needs.
 * But you’re probably right on point. I can certainly see where interpretation 
   of the wording would definitely depend on your mindset. An unintended double-
   meaning in this case, perhaps. Certainly made me smile a little when I read it!
