usernames

Friends,

A bit of a pitty I cant choose a username of my liking. Id like to set username to login to panel = customer's email address.

Cpanel generates an 8 char based on domain, but its hard to know what the username is as it's part of the word of the domain.

Also there is no "forgot username".

Thanks!

WHMCS, Clientexec, Blesta all create a random lowercase/numeric username for the accounts.
This also can be seen when a customer logs into said management system, and also has a reset password there as well.

Or the customer could open a support ticket asking what their username is.

You can also choose a custom un if you are creating the account manually, as long as it in no longer than 8 characters.
Usernames can only be lower case letters & numbers.

Thanks. The thing is, how will username do a forgot pwd if he doesnt know the username.

Cant there be a forgot username?

A custom username would be awesome too, imho.

That's where a billing system like mentioned above comes into play.

Otherwise they would have to contact you, the sys admin.
