Enhancement : create user with a login instead of an email adress
I much prefer having users defined with login+password instead of email+password. The email adress should be optional.
Thanks :)
Hi, We have made a choice. We will use email address in future releases (for example if you want to retrieve a forgotten password, or send other notifications).
I note your point.
I'm sad/disappointed to see that many enhancement/features get dismissed without discussion. But you're the project leaders, so I'll do with it.
I agree with @GLLM though this is not a massive problem. Email should be optional, people may want to a username which is common to their other self-hosted applications. Users may want not to disclose their e-mail address to the server admin. Users may not trust their mail provider with password reset tokens. Anyway I personally don't have an MTA installed to send mail from my server. Usernames should be freeform (alphanumeric and some symbols). Email should be another, optional field (which is of course needed to receive password change tokens and other updates).
Just my 2 cents.
:+1: I like using username, rather than email. Especially with something like this, where I'm planning on running it for personal use only
@nodiscc said it all :)
@lGuillaume124 I didn't mean to be rude btw ... sorry if you felt so.
@GLLM No no that's my fault. Using email to authenticate users was an evident thing for both of us. But you have good arguments, and we are sensible to the end-user privacy stakes.
On the other hand, your request requires some deep changes and we will not be able to propose them before the 1.1.0 or 1.2.0 release.
