We had definitely problems with that in the past and had solved it. Could this
be a regression?

For our libraries Joubu's solution would not work. We have all different cases:

* Libraries where the self check reads the chip number that is long,
complicated and unknown to the user. They user the userid for logging into the
OPAC.
* Libraries that don't use the userid at all, but only use the cardnumber

Koha has always supported both - I think there is no step back from that. But
uniqueness must be enforced.
