Summary: Improve information provided in username reminder mail
Issue Type: cid:jira-generated-image-avatar-e0afc7f4-7a9f-48e9-bc65-3d0a1c2b1568 Improvement
Affects Versions: 17.1.0
Assignee: Unassigned
Components: Administration
Created: 27/Feb/25 18:27
Priority: cid:jira-generated-image-static-major-9bd6564e-be42-41c7-8291-024e26255513 Major
Reporter: slauriere
Description:

When hitting the link "Forgot your username?" in the login screen, the sent mail provides the full user reference, eg "xwiki:XWiki.johndoe", rather than the reference name, eg "johndoe".

While technically the full reference will work on authentication, the user would more expect to receive the last part of it, since it corresponds to the identifier that they entered on registration or that was communicated to them.
