[GitHub] [streampipes] dominikriemer opened a new issue, #524: Use username over email address for authentication

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

dominikriemer opened a new issue, #524:
URL: https://github.com/apache/streampipes/issues/524

   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
   
   Imported from Jira [STREAMPIPES-314](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STREAMPIPES-314). Original Jira may contain additional context.
