Login With Username

Distraida1973

Why do we have usernames if we can't log in with them?  It seems completely pointless to me to make a million people change to a unique username, then not allow people to use that username to log in. 

I saw a post from 3 years ago that said this very thing, and the answer given was that it would be easier for people to hack accounts if you allowed people to log in with their username. So I want you to look at the number of people who use Microsoft.com and look at the percentage of people having their Microsoft account hacked. Do you know I have never once heard of anyone having their MS account hacked?

So I give to you the suggestion: Let people log in with their username. If someone is going to hack an account, they will be able to find the email address easily enough, if they don't already have it. A hacker is not going to be stopped by simply requiring an email address for login. 

So one more time: What is the point of a username if we can't use it to log in?

    If they add this then they should also add a security feature if it suspects that it's not you trying to access the account it will ask for your email. Maybe add this to your feedback.
