When using my password manager, I often provide only the password, not the user. In case of data breach they can not be exploited.

Wouldn't your username generally (or at least, quite often) be your email, which would be recoverable? Might slow an attacker down a little I suppose, or prevent automated attacks.

Im thinking on txt files shared with leaked user and password. On those cases my credentials would not appear.
If somebody focus on hacking _me_, they already have my email, so this measure is not very effective.
