    I didn’t even know you could get usernames, I’ve only ever signed in through email. Happen to know where I could find my username by chance?

      There’s an option to have them email the username to you. I did it recently and it’s all in the same area of mygov security settings. Worth it because if your mygov gets breached I’ve heard they force you to make a new one.

        It also displayed the username in the same place in settings as the option to remove the email and phone number as login options.

        From what I read if you are forced to make a new login you also can’t reuse the same email address without phoning up and doing something to release it. Just unlocking it from the temporary lock I needed the correct password, answer to a secret question plus an SMS code which was stilll a bit of a nuisance.

          Thanks both! I’ll see if I can work out what my username is
