When you want to associate multiple domains into the same profile, using
just the password isn't enough, since we'd have to ensure any password
that's previously used (and isn't *your* profile) isn't duplicated.
And for security reasons, if we use just domain/password, there's already
one public piece of information for access to the domain. With a username
it's a higher level of security (through obscurity)
