There was a problem hiding this comment.
Another option (not better/worse, just another option) is to have this as a Callable(...) which takes the authenticator as a parameter and returns the prefix, with the default being the current behaviour.
The advantage is flexibility since you could have a mix of shared and unique prefixes, the downside is someone has to define a callable instead of a string if they want a common/no prefix c.MultiAuthenticator.username_prefix=lambda a: ""

It is better to subclass the authenticator of interest and set the login_service property on the subclass. Support for service_name will be removed in a feature version.
This allows for an administrator to set a prefix that will be used for all authenticators configured. It can be useful when there's a need to use an alternate login method while keeping the same username. **WARNING: This can have security implications !!!** If two different users, using each a different login service have the same username returned (e.g. User1 on GitLab gets UserXYZ and User2 on GitHub also get UserXYZ, then they will have access to the same account on the JupyterHub deployment.

Describe your changes
This PR implement a new setting for the MultiAuthenticator class: username_prefix.
When set, only this prefix will be used across all Authenticators configured.
It can be useful when there's a need to use an alternate login method while keeping the same username.
INFO: the service_name feature is deprecated in favor of subclassing authenticator classes and setting the
login_serviceproperty. It's more verbose however it makes the intention clearer. It will be removed in a future release.WARNING: This can have security implications !!!
If two different users, using each a different login service have the same username returned (e.g. User1 on GitLab gets UserXYZ and User2 on GitHub also get UserXYZ, then they will have access to the same account on the JupyterHub deployment.
