Do not change existing/overwritten usernames

Problem/Motivation

Currently, if we activate the module, all usernames are automatically changed. This is quite annoying, as the "Login by email address only" setting isn't enabled by default, meaning if we were logged out at the moment of enabling the module, we now need to either log in with our username OR email-address. But it is unexpected behavior, that the username changed.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Implement the ability to manually overwrite the existing usernames.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

    Totally agree, especially the change to existing usernames on install was totally unexpected!

    For example username before was "admin" (dev env) now it's "adminexamplecom".

    Can you provide step to replica this issue? Mail login module doesn't edit usernames and only enables the login by email address in addition to the default username login.
    "Login by email address only" option is disabled by default which allows the user to login by username as normal.

    This is super weird... I can't reproduce this behaviour any more...
    And you are correct, "Login by email address only" is disabled by default.

    Maybe I somehow used 1.x? Can't really tell how this was possible. Oh well, closing this then.
