What Namecheap do is better - two-factor authentication. usernames are not meant to be secret, and forcing users to look up a username as well as a password is going to be annoying.
Off-topic, I switched to Namecheap (from GoDaddy) a couple of years ago, and have been impressed. Things like two-factor auth and being aware of and publicising this attack are all signs of a good corporate citizen doing things right.
