The Generated Identifier Is Leaking Crucial Private Information

[TurtleWilly]

The generated identifier during the login (used for initial_device_display_name) is built using private information that a user may not want to share with others (local user and host name).

This should be properly documented and possible to easily overload, e.g. there could be a --custom-identifier option with its help mentioning how the default identifier is constructed out of the local user and host names.

Thanks for the comment. I've added an option --identifier to set a custom identifier.
