I'd like to see a feature in 1Password that suggests usernames (just 1-5 would be enough with a refresh button) since many registration forms ask for one and I don't want to use the same ones over and over again. Thx

    Hi @ExpiredRaptor,

    Using unique usernames has very little security benefit, as they are not secret. The important part is to keep the secret (your password) secret. Usernames are used for identification not authentication. :)

    Thanks for the feedback, but I'm not aware of any plans to add a username generator. If you'd like, you can simply use the password generator instead.

    For a more detailed discussion of the unique usernames, you may wish to peruse:

    If we use strong passwords, what is the point to using strong user IDs?
