"Something went wrong with your username, it's no longer assigned to your account"

[improvethings]

Using a supported version?

• I have searched searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
• I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.

Overall summary

Signal Desktop 7.28 on osx

Steps to reproduce

1. Reopen Desktop 7.28
2. See error in the top left

Expected result

I don't expect to see that error and I don't want to change my username. It might be because I had username.number and it looks like the period is no longer accepted so needs to be namenumber now?

Actual result

Error warning persists when I open Desktop

Hi there, apologies this is happening to you. Was there any recent activity on Android like device transfer, or did the error just show up on desktop?

[improvethings]

Yes, sorry I should have mentioned this. A few weeks ago I bought a newer device (stock google) so I was going to move things over, starting with Signal (recovery from backup), but I decided yesterday to move it back (recovery from backup, overwriting the several week old instance still there) to the older non-google phone (GrapheneOS) before this error started.

I checked in with Android and learned it's related to the device transfer. We're looking into it. Sorry about that!

Hi, is there any kind of work around for this? I transferred an account to a new device as well and experiencing this. I also don't want to change my username.
