A username is something you are. It's you! You are 0xD.
A password is something you know. A security key is something you have.
When we interview security analysts you don't get past the first round if you disagree.
If your interview involves telling me a username is "something you are" rather than "something you know", I'm running away from that job as fast as I can.
Other people know your username.
How hard is this?
I guarantee you I know thousands of people's passwords as well, I just don't know the username associated.
