Description
It happened to use that the OAuth2 / OpenID provider did not provide a username.
Thus, we used the fallback to mail.
This resulted in people getting the same username over and over again.
Why?
Well, they have their own mail servers and mail inboxes and use e.g.: admin@foo.bar, admin@bar.foo, admin@mydomain.local resulting in automatically assigning the usernames admin 0, admin 1 and admin 2.
So a third fallback option to allow users to choose the username would be great.

Research direction
Start by tracing the plugin's OAuth2/OpenID username fallback flow and identify where email-derived usernames are assigned. The work is done when users can choose a username as a third fallback option while the existing provider and email fallbacks continue to work.
