Bug Description
Per decision of https:/
Putting the username in the userbox with the password and the Fullname is repetitive, especially since in most cases, the username is the firstname of the fullname.
Also, no other OSes do this, and it makes the login look cluttered.
From Bug 1044841:
Having both the person's name and their technical username feels redundant. Instead, we should just show their real name.

This is a safeguard agains an admittedly rare situation of two users with same user name on the system. So I'd rather show it only for users with identical names.
