Like Katrin was saying, I think the cardnumber is more for machines, and userid
is more for humans. 

At my local public library, they used to only have cardnumber for logging in,
but then they created "alias" which is similar to userid I think. When I log in
to my account, I use that human-friendly alias/userid, but I validate myself on
the self-checkout using my card. 

(As I say that, I realize that the Koha self-checkout could have an option to
show both cardnumber and userid logins... as you might've forgotten your card
but might have your userid/password...)
