Adding a QUERIES parameter is good but I would urge you to allow (login "xyz")
as a possible query.
For looking up email passwords, the "account" attribute seems like an overkill.
What would users put as their "account", if not their login id? Since they
are already using the "login" parameter to write their login id, it seems like
unnecessary duplication.
Thanks for all your help!
Cheers,
Uday
