username field

Identity entry area

A username field is the input box on a login or registration form where you enter your account identifier.

It typically appears above the password field and may accept an email address, phone number, or chosen handle depending on the service: Enter your email in the username field.

The field often includes autocomplete suggestions from previously used accounts.
