https://identity.kde.org does not handle all errors properly. If you register an identity and use a name with 2 letters, such as: 1st. name: Ab 2nd. name: Cd Then upon confirmation on https://identity.kde.org there will be breakage. The "name" drop-down-list (tested on Mint-distro's firefox) will be empty and it will be impossible to continue to finalize the ID registration procedure. The e-mail address is "burned" (admin interference required to reuse it). The identity created cannot be used at all. No error message is given at all. Using a longer name such as "Abcde Fghij" will succeed of course. Fix: Just exempt the user from entering names which are too short or treat 2-letter-names properly in the website's html/JS code.

I want to work on this issue. Can you please post the link to the source code for https://identity.kde.org ?
The code can be found in websites/identity-kde-org on git.kde.org. Please note that we intend to perform a complete system replacement sometime before the end of this year, and in doing so we'll eliminate usernames as a concept entirely.
well so far all has stayed the same, and its mid february

Migrating "reproducible" keyword to "CONFIRMED" status.
As far as I know KDE Identity lets you enter your own username now, it doesn't have a dropdown of generated usernames anymore. Having a short real name won't cause an empty list of username options because there is no list of options anymore. Is this bug still valid?
Nicolas is correct, this is no longer an issue as we no longer use a drop down.
