DId2 or Email Address

I noticed the email field was changed to "DId2 or Email Address" on the account settings page.

Is this for Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) or something else?

That means Digital-Id2 as a secondary ID. A secondary ID is the email addr or the ID 'dnnnn' when registered without email. In contrast: the primary ID ist the channel addr (webbie) for the communication in the web/grid.

This is exactly what happened to me with a new Hub:

Summary:
An account created using a Did2 code instead of an email address is not able to change its password later.

It probably should be called something else on the user interface though.
