Allow login username to be different from email and aliases
You can effectively make your login username a barrier from even giving hackers a starting point to get into your account. Since with this feature they would need to know your username first. This should squash any determine hacker and allow great protection to long term protonmail accounts for years to come. Thoughts of "working on hacking this account may take time" is diminished wouldnt ya say?

I would like for it to be possible to disable login using some or all the alias names, so that it is only possible to log into protonmail by using my original login name, which I set up when opening my account, and which I keep secret.

This feature is currently available on Outlook.com and I find it very useful. It would be win-win update for ProtonMail and its customers: it should reduce the volume of hacking attempts.

This seems like an excellent measure as it denies an attacker a meaningful starting point.

Fantastic idea. Such basic opsec should be so obvious but we're all trained monkeys on GMail these days.
