@Philooo - Its worth noting here that switching to email login is advised, and has been for quite some time in your admin CP. If you are using display name, then half the login details are essentially already known.

Still waiting on the benefit here given its the email address / password combo in these data breaches

Are you 100% sure of that? There are no lists anywhere where someone has used the same username? It is very very likely there are username, email, password combinations out there.

Just remember when it happened to me in the 123RF breach in 2020 it was the same email / password combo that was being used in many places

Keep in mind, that is one instance out of many, many, many, many other breaches. 

Kind of like stating, all car accidents are the same 🙂 . Each breach is different than the next depending on the website and data the attacker obtains. More often than not username is stored and obtained, if it is available.
