Account name #19

Discussion: What is the purpose of the account name?. Letting the user fill-in a account name every time he or she opens the app is a tedious task. Why isn't loging in with just a email or password enough?.

The account name at the moment is just so it can be identified in the list of accounts. Similar to how FileZilla will have "Site name".

The problem I was trying to fix is that the API root may not be unique, and the username may not be unique. For example, if you are connecting to two different bridges and use the same email address on each, how does the user know which is which? If they are listed by email address, they will look the same. I could change it to:

username|apiroot perhaps so it would look like:

meije@myemail.com|api.storj.io

I'm open to any suggestions on it though. I think Tome is also going to be helping out to make things look nicer and be easier to use.

something like meije@myemail.com|api.storj.io should do the trick, this directly associates the login details to the bridge. Who is Tome?
