Unfortunately, the navbar isn't very flexible. However, it returns an HTML
helper object (a SPAN with several components), so you can manipulate it
after creation. The part after "Welcome" is the second component of the
span, so:
navbar = auth.navbar()
if auth.user:
navbar[1] = auth.user.email #replace first name with email
del navbar[0] # remove "Welcome"
