Username generator

[Bill Rossum 5]

These days, it's hard to not leave behind a digital footprint. People can often learn a lot about you just by googling your username. I think that Enpass could really help solve this problem by offering a random username generator. The usernames could be nonsensical, or they could be created from a predefined dictionary.

It would also be nice to have a general random generator so that you could generate random values for any field, but I think this would be more difficult to implement. One possible use case would be randomly selecting an email to use from a list of your email addresses, which would also make it harder for people to track your online activities.

There are already several such tools to generate unique username. Some of them are:

1 Jimpix
2 Best Username Generator
3 Speedy Password
4 SpinXO
5 Screen Name Generator
6 Rum & Monkey

I'd love to have this feature too. Can you make it into version 6 please?

Would love this feature too.

I would prefer a generic name generator.

it would be plus point to add this feature in the upcoming update, but there are some generic name generators available like spinxo, jimpix, screen name generator etc.
