Hmm. Not happy with Microsoft on this one. Attacks against a known username 
make it easier to compromise an account. Lets assume a percentage of BX users 
out there have the same password on BX as something else, and the something 
else has had a breach. Right now, they cant get into mail because of the fact 
of the different username. If this change happens, that will disappear.

At the very least, it should be opt in… Just saying.
