If you've got randomly generated username, it is, effectively a password, except that no tooling would ever treat it as such, which may be a problem.
Ofc, this only holds where your username is not a public ID (say on a forum).
Which is why I like decoupling usernames (or rather "nicknames") from authentication. Email and password represent your actual identifiers.
So as others noted, why bother?
