Not it's still case sensitive, you can just flip all the character's case. You are only losing "one bit" of password information.

> it's still case sensitive, you can just flip all the character's case.

How is "flipping all the character's case" different from case-insensitive?

They flip all character's case in one go, and also capitalise just the first character.

So, if your password was:

fishCAT

They would accept fishCAT, and also FISHcat and FishCAT, and that's it.
