Security: Will we get to see non-name usernames?

For the sake of future account security are we going to see usernames not related to our SL names that we can assign so people can't hijack our accounts?

for example:

SL name: Aodhan McDunnough
username (for all logins): rx139pnd53!43
password: sk5f9kls9glhy

As it stands all a hijacker has to do is get past the password if he wants to attack a specific resident.

If this will be made, any estimated timetable for this thing to be implemented?

I haven't heard of plans to do this--we have enough problems with Residents forgetting what their SL name is! :(

Added security is always more welcome, though.
