Infosec tip #2: randomize your usernames of all accounts unless you have a reason not to.
There's no reason people should be able to guess the username to your health care provider just because they know your username on some social media platform.
If there's an authentication bypass vulnerability that goes public in the future, you'll be glad you took this step.
infosec tip: use a unique email and password for all of your accounts. make sure the emails you use for your financial accounts are not used on any other accounts
