I didn’t even know that was an option. Maybe my mygov account is so old I created it when you could only use a random string of numbers they assigned you. I guess that’s the on upside to an inscrutable, completely unrelated username
That’s the username I use, but the email is in the settings as an alternative option. I presume someone had a list and was trying all my known passwords with the email - it wouldn’t get them in (I use unique random passwords for everything of any importance) but trying over and over gets me locked out. It might be worth checking your settings to see if it is enabled.
