Judging from the discussion, this is a wider issue, so I checked Launchpad for existing bugs and found some relevant ones, the first was just brought up by Jessica:
#1255561 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1255561> OPAC: username that starts with a number is treated like a barcode #1828456 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1828456> AuthProxy native login fails if username begins with a number #1827296 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1827296> open-ils.auth.authenticate.init incorrectly checks if identifier is username or barcode While certainly related, it's unclear to me whether there are actually duplicate bugs here. Because of that, and because there is code that can be rebased/tested, I'm copying the dev list on this as well. Also, here's a related wishlist item: #1891708 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1891708> Default usernames should be changed when updating a patron barcode Michele -- Michele M.
