    Maybe having the option to mask it will be a great feature, thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestion @TGP. :) We generally stay way from this sort of thing because it can be "security theater" — providing the illusion of security where none exists. Usernames are identifiers, and as such are not intended to be secret. We wrote a blog post all about why expecting identifiers to be secret is a problem in response to the Equifax breach:

    Why is this information sensitive? The deeper Equifax problem

    We'll continue to evaluate how usernames are utilized by services and if the landscape shifts we can take another look, but at this point I don't think concealing usernames would provide a real security benefit.
