More often than not, the best way to hide is to simply blend in with the crowds – this also encompasses one’s choice for a username. It is relatively simple to make a single throwaway account – just come up with a username, and off you go – however, if one makes throwaway accounts often, the task of thinking of a unique, and non-identifiable username can become a challenge. I would argue that poeple would often resort to using a pattern employing small changes for all subsequent usernames. Such patterns can be identified to a specific user if all users have their own unique patterns.
How can one reliably generate many unique-but-normal, and non-pattern-identifiable usernames?
What the fuck. I never knew Bitwarden had a username gen until I went to checked to see if it did, and I immediately notice it
It’s fairly recent, and I don’t think they advertise it. It appeared one day in the generator. 😆
I don’t think it’s particularly good, but it’s something!
Must be a new feature. I developed a client for BW 6 months ago, and this was definitely not a thing.
It’s been in the Chrome extension for at least a year.
Must be client side only. TIL
It’s really not all that different from a passphrase generator
Well, the same thing, but just not part of the BW server API is all.

It’s not a public project. It was based on their docs to be compliant though, much the same as the vaultwarden project.
