Do you mean a username that is distinct from email or phone number?

If so, why does that provide protection against credential stuffing? A username can be reused across different applications.

What am I missing?

No, he means a unique user id, generated by the server when you sign up for the service. Then for every login attempt, you provide the username/email + user id + password.

Thanks.

Would love to hear from other folks who have implemented this on how it affects the user experience. Seems to me it'd be high friction.
