Stacks-wallet-web: Username is an empty string, after creating a user with empty name
To link my content to a specific user, I need the username of the current loggedin user.
userData = session.loadUserData();
const person = new Person(userData.profile);
const username = userData.username;
This is a show stopper for my application, I need at least the username ...
It will allow me to build up a share link.
My old data from loggin in with blockstack.js is also lost on my localhost session, so I am not sure if the UserSession is working like it should be. The appPrivateKey is also different in both ways.

For me it is not clear how to log in with an already existing user ... I have the secret of that user but I am not able to provide it to login with the same user as with browser.blockstack.org.
I was able to create a user with an empty name ...

@markmhx i think this happens due to ip based restriction on username registration endpoint.

@hstove is this the same underlying problem as found in https://github.com/blockstack/ux/issues/314?

@markmhx This issue is about empty username, #314 is about missing public profile (that is not loaded by default by connect library)

@jorishermans I think I understand the problem, but I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what is going wrong here. When I re-use an older secret key from the Browser, I am able to use it in the new authenticator, and I get the same usernames and appPrivateKey. Are you using a magic recovery code? Or just the twelve words?

Also, are you really able to just register a username with an empty string? We have validation on this, and if you leave the onboarding flow and come back, you'll still be forced to enter a username. I just tried, and I'm not able to get through the flow without a username. Could you post a video maybe (obviously without the secret key)

@jorishermans can you use a vpn and verify that username creation is not being blocked due to rate limiting IP restrictions
