IPB has a feature where the Display Name shows globally and hides the username that people use to login. This is great for cases where somehow does not want others to know half of their login information (the username). As such it's perfect to implement where if they have an Display Name set that will act as if it is the username but not work for logging in. This is to make sure that nobody would have any of the data they need to login. (With the username anyone can just bute force the password by using things like aiohttp in async threads to crack it in little to no time at all). As such display names add an extra layer of security on that (I seen things like that happen before).
I in fact want to use this feaqture to also protect our moderators or Admins and keep them from possibly getting hacked at all.
