Also, our button says "Login" and Autho says "Log In" this should be consistent. Open #233 in Usersnap Dashboard

Jesi and I have decided we don't need username, users will log in with their email address. So profile name should just be their name.

@dethe will this fix all the usernames that currently appear in the 'Submitted by' field? How/will this impact admins changing names on entries?

dethe commented 6 years ago

@scottofletcher I'm not sure what "all the usernames that currently appear in the 'Submitted by' field" means. This won't change users or listing them, it will only means we will use their name rather than pretend that we have a username field in any meaningful way. For uniquely identifying users we have a numeric id and their email, we don't need a unique username. Their name can be whatever they choose to be known by, but preferably their real, full name.

Admins changing names on entries will be given a searchable list of existing users, so this should have little or no impact on that feature.

@dethe I meant that, for example, this case would show that it was 'First submitted by' Robert Richards and not richards1000
