[keycloak-dev] brokerid + subject for brokered username?

[Stian Thorgersen]

A username like that is pointless IMO.

Using username from broker actually has a pretty high chance of clash, especially for social logins. I very often can't get my preferred username when signing up to sites, and judging on how may saly9581 there are out there that's a common problem. That's why username for social logins used to be a UUID, but was for some reason changed.

For users provisioned through idp logins we should set the username to null, or equal to the user-id. When a user has a null username or username is equal to user-id it should not be displayed in account management, instead we could add an option to allow the user to set the username.
