Prevent usernames from being reused

XMLWordPrintable

    • Village

      If a user deletes their account, or has their account renamed by an admin, we should prevent new or existing users from being able to take that user's previous username.

      We return the name as the "sub" in our OAuth userinfo endpoint, which is supposed to be an ID which is never reused or reassigned.

      This will also prevent unnecessary confusion or attempts at impersonation (although I doubt that's ever been a problem).
