   You can customize the SocialAccountAdapter by inheriting
   ``allauth_ens.adapter.LongTermClipperAccountAdapter``. You might want to
   modify ``get_username(clipper, data)`` to change the default username format.
-  This function is used to disambiguate in the account deprecation process.
   By default, ``get_username`` raises a ``ValueError`` when the connexion to the
   LDAP failed or did not allow to retrieve the user's entrance year. Overriding
   ``get_username`` (as done in the example website) allows to get rid of that
