How would you use usernames without email? Users won't understand a system where you can't click an "I forgot my password" button and recover.

Generally up to the website on how to implement the system. Some have done with usernames, some without. Generally, users aren't looking for a 'I forgot my password' button if they aren't asked for a password in the first place.

This is a good question, generally you’d only do this in situations where the data itself isn’t too important, like Reddit.

That being said where I seen it used there’s usually a huge disclaimer asking you to put in your email
