Hi Tim,
Koha auto-generating a username when left empty has been the normal
behaviour for a long time. As long as no password is set, this would
make no difference for people being able to log into the OPAC.
But I think you found 2 regressions with the email validation and
password requirement. I have filed 2 bug reports:
*Bug 19907*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19907> -
Email validation on patron add/edit not working
*Bug 19908*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19908> -
Password should not be mandatory

I also got the required labels for passwords after I tried to save.
Entering three characters or more will make them go away.
The earlier versions of Koha would validate emails while you were
entering them. I noticed this version only validates emails when you
save.

Excerpts from Tim McMahon's message of 2018-01-02 16:26:39 -0600:
I'm testing 17.11 (package upgrade from 17.05.02) and when I try to
enter a new patron, the Password and Confirm password fields in the
OPAC/Staff login section near the bottom of the form will get labeled
"This field is required."
I can confirm this behavior on my test VM of 17.11
Curiously, during my test of adding a new patron, the "required"
labels on the Password and Confirm fields didn't appear when I first
loaded the form. They only showed up after I hit the "Save" button,
which failed to save, and presented me with the form again, this time
with the labels added.
I got around the problem by putting the word "junk" in for the
passwords, and leaving the username blank. Then when I edited that
patron again, I found that Koha had auto-generated a user name
consisting of the first and last names of the patron concatenated with
a "." separator.
In summary, I couldn't find a way to enter blank usernames or passwords
for patrons. I don't recall that 17.05 exhibited this behavior.
I also noticed that the primary and secondary email fields aren't
validating either.
I didn't see a problem with these fields.
