    Description

      Some users have expressed concerns over the required mail address as the main user identifier.

      Although we don't do anything with a given email, having a username instead of the mail address seems to increase trust for first-time users.

      Changing the user identifier from email to username implies:

      • Changing the setup and login dialogue
      • Extending the user model with a username concept while keeping the email field (that we can still use for sending notifications etc)
      • Check the codebase for anything where we use the mail address for identifying users and change it to the new username concept
