ui user: differentiate users with the same name #2

Closed gmcgoldr closed 1 year ago

gmcgoldr commented 1 year ago

Currently two IDs can have the same name, and a user will not be able to tell them apart in the UI.

The account names should contain information which allows a user to differentiate different accounts with the same name.

The easiest way to do this is to add a suffix derived from the account ID whenever the account name is shown. This suffix can be comprised of DID characters, though the first few characters are identical for all DIDs. Consequently using the last characters would help disambiguate names with fewer characters.

Another approach is to use an idention.
