God, the number of panicked IT support calls I got over that particular phrasing. It was quite the month.
Let me try guessing it... most people thought it was some kind of ransomware smiling at them?
This definitely happened to me a while ago. I'm not that upset about it, except that I spent some time changing all my local accounts from "jon" to "jrockway", and signing in with my email address made my local account "jon". Now when I ssh places, I have to supply -l or properly add an entry to ~/.ssh/config because this is the only account I have that's not named "jrockway". All in all, this reduces the enjoyment i…
You can add a wildcard entry (Host *) with the username to your ssh config. That will make it the default (can still be overridden by host-specific settings).

Given that some Microsoft employees no doubt frequent this forum, I hope they see and address this issue. Something like an advanced checkbox to customize the local account’s username. Maybe also having a default local user account name tied to the online account for any new machines set up with the online account.
It's crazy that this ever was considered...

You have to be disconnected from wifi and Ethernet to be offered the option of a local account. This was removed in 11.
Coincidentally, that's why I am not using win11, despite all its improvements over win10. (The one i miss most is GUI support in WSL )

Did it switch you magically or something? I actually don't mind the microsoft account integration but I also have a name issue. Microsoft will name my account the equivilent "jons" instead of "jsmith" but all my ssh logins are the latter. I just make an offline account first and then change my account to a microsoft one in user settings and it seems to keep the first name.

That actually shipped to Windows 10: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/the-windows-subsy...
On win11 it seems to work fine.
I do not remember exact details, but at some point there was a prompt to log in or create an MS account, and I needed to go back a step for the local account option to appear.
I think Windows 10 was similar but it has been a long time since my last installation.
