Re: [Tiki-devel] Enabling "Use email as username" on a populated Tiki23

>> enabled because "email as username" isn't fully private

In my case the user have user trackers so they have a Real Name that is available.

At tiki-admin.php?page=login => Username, I enabled;
Obscure email when using email as username
This will attempt as much as possible to hide the email address, showing the real name or the truncated email address instead.

Is it really working well… Too well !!!
I need a way for the admin to see the users email. 😂
