Username as custom field (anonymous members) was created by Michail Fragkiadakis
Hello,
I was wondering if I could have a custom field that is automatically filled with a unique number (eg. membership ID) for each subscription and acts as a username when that member wants to login. This would occur to a specific subscription plan, for the purpose of protecting the identity of the members (it's a free subscription which gives them the ability to post comments to certain articles), while at the same time their personal information is available to the administrator.
Is there a way to somehow achieve that with Membership Pro?

Sorry Michail . This is a special use case and not supported by the extension. Normally, if users want to register for an account, they will need to enter username and password of the account directly on subscription
For this, depends on exactly how you want it to work, I think you will have to customize the code of the extension
Regards,
Tuan

Got it, thank you.
One follow-up question: Is there a way to display user's ID along with the other details on the sign-up email that is sent to the user?

Kind reminder for my follow-up question, since it's kind of an important issue for me.

Hello
You can insert [USER_ID] tag in the email message sent to users and that will be replaced with ID of that user
