Description

As I understand from multiple issues, It's not possible to change username. If I delete current account username_1, Can I use the associated email address email_1 in creating username_2 or link that email to username_2 ?

Chose wrong username to associate with primary email address. Couldn't find any relevant issue reports.

Research direction

No files, tests, or implementation entry points are named. First clarify the intended account-deletion and email-reuse policy; done would be an agreed behavior for reusing email_1 with username_2 or linking it after username_1 is deleted.
