by allowing usernames to be stored, you make the attackers job easier by doing 50% of the work for them. however, if when you auth, you have 3 credentials. username, date of birth (dont use this its easy to get DOB) and password then you could store usernames with no real impact?
Can I use local-storage to use usernames.
I also heard session storage kind of thing in JavaScript.
Anyways thank you
Depends,
Are the user names email addresses?
