Yeah this is what I meant. It feels so wrong but also makes complete sense.

I think I've gotten used to the "safety" of setting my own password and always typing it with my email or username.

But practically speaking they're very similar and Mullvad's is arguably safer

I think of it more as "no username, only password". Realistically, usernames are not expected to be secure or private, so this is effectively the same.
