Description
I found out that if I add "mode" variable with value of "login" to GET parameter in URL, I will automatically bypass the maintenance mode.
Maintenance mode:
http://www.example.com/
And bypassed the mode:
http://www.example.com/?mode=login
This should be considered a bug. I did a quick search in the code, but did not find it right now.

Research direction
Reproduce the reported behavior by comparing the maintenance-mode URL with the same URL using the mode=login GET parameter. Trace the maintenance-mode request handling to identify why that parameter bypasses the page; done means the parameter no longer bypasses maintenance mode while normal login behavior remains available.
