Email (*)

(*) Note: The application username must be unique in your team, and should be immutable once assigned. If more than one user has the same value for the field that you select here, those two users will log in as a single user on Wire. And if the value were to change, users will be re-assigned to a new account at the next login. Usually, email is a safe choice but you should evaluate it for your case.
