Problem/Motivation
Currently UserStorageController::baseFieldDefinitions() (/core/modules/user/lib/Drupal/user/UserStorageController.php) uses the label "Name" for different base field definitions. That's not really a good idea :D
Snipped:
<?php
...
$properties['name'] = array(
'label'=> t('Name'),
'description'=> t('The name of this user'),
'type'=> 'string_field',
'settings'=> array('default_value'=> ''),
);
$properties['pass'] = array(
'label'=> t('Name'),
'description'=> t('The password of this user (hashed)'),
'type'=> 'string_field',
);
$properties['mail'] = array(
'label'=> t('Name'),
'description'=> t('The e-mail of this user'),
'type'=> 'string_field',
'settings'=> array('default_value'=> ''),
);
...
?>Proposed resolution
Set speaking labels for all field definitions.
