I wonder if the last CodeRED one is really a matter that CodeRED has forgotten the username; IOW somehow at their end it's become null or EmptyString

I think the entire Verizon experience qualifies as a DWTF Friday. Good news for the AI haters: their AI hallucinates on basic, straightforward how-to questions!

Leonard Nul always has troubles with his username, and is getting tired of having to request that it not follow the "lastname+first initial" pattern everywhere.

Nope. It's a bug. I have multiple OnSolve accounts. I tried with another one I use more regularly and it replies with the appropriate account. But not having the username represents a real issue. It's a true bug.

I'll have IKEA furniture anytime over their meatballs. At least I know what's in the furniture.
CodeRED: the TRWTF is that this is displayed using Outlook. Also, try looking at the email source, the username might just be in there garbled by fancy HTML junk output.

Admin
The real WTF with the CodeRed one is that they clearly know enough to retrieve your user name knowing your email address, so why not just use the email address instead?
