I remember hearing before that it's a sign they are storing your info unencrypted but I never checked.

Is this true? I was logging into a .gov website and noticed it does that.

Sometimes the username is not whats expected. Is it the full email or just the first part of the email? Is if something generated by the system? Do you use the system often enough to remember it? Putting a "what's my username link?" Can be helpful

Usernames can be written down or saved in a file for reference if needed. Only passwords really need to be memorized. (Password managers notwithstanding)
