Add helper text to "username" text field during signup #4145

Open jesseallhands opened 2 years ago

jesseallhands commented 2 years ago

Some users have been confused about what is meant by "username" and have contacted support or reported a bug because of that confusion (some think this is the name actually displayed on their account).

Could we add a helper text below the "username" text field to help differentiate between "username" and "display name"? Or allow users to provide their username and their display on the same page so they can see there is a difference?

This issue was also mentioned in Couchers-org/couchers#2409

This is still an issue, especially during signup where some people think that username is the same as name, etc
