Would usernames be included? Seems incredibly taxing to encrypt usernames too but is that what's suggested?

The GDPR specifically introduces a class of data called "online identifiers":

which includes IP addresses and seems to extend to things like email addresses and usernames.

How this will end up affecting functionality and implementations of online services is not yet clear, at least to me.
