I just noticed I have one when I looked up my "general info". A new data field to the right of my member number I never noticed before.
I don't use it for anything, are they implementing something new?
It could very well be for non- member access. Like HQ folks who aren't members.
I have data in that field, and it is usable for logging in vice the CAPID.
It's been there since 2013 at least, and yes, you can use that in place of your CAPID to log in.
Huh. I suppose I have seen it there before and just sort of never paid close attention to it.

I can't remember seeing it before. Only reason for having that would be to setup a national level email standard, even if it was just a forward. I doubt anyone is going to use my CAP ID for identity theft purposes.

Only reason? Really. Colonel Ninness provided the most logical reason - non-member access at NHQ. None of the paid employees are members, but still have access for data entry and download.

They could easily be assigned a six digit number without being made a member. There is no reason to create an entire new data field for about a dozen people. And then give a username to 50,000 more people who don't need it.
Which is also in no way suggesting that it isn't what they did anyway
