@MarioTrucco, Because usernames do not contain (are not meant to contain) secure information. This is comparable to transparent crystallographic systems whereby the security depends entirely on the password and the password alone. It's a security risk only if the username is leaky, for example usernames like PwdIsTheNameOfAFruit or PwdIsMyUsername.
