at the Fidelity Investments I use you can set your login name to anything you want.
But your anger is not really about Fidelity, its about you got embarrassed by a security incident at whatever Fidelity you use, and as always, it was at a very inconvenient time, and you wanted instant customer service to stay on schedule and not get embarrassed with a delayed payment. That instant satisfaction didn't happen, and you want to take it out on Fidelity. .
The real fix, as I also worked in IT, and built automation as much as possible, is to automated the process with a time buffer in case something does go wrong. But you already know this, you just go embarrassed for not doing that as well. .
But that is me, a fidelity user for 40+ years, one of the largest Fidelity individual option traders in the early 80s, ie, there were like 10 of us. . and worked in and with IT for 30+ years, including application security. . . who also doesn't use account numbers in my user name, and change long random string passwords with 2 FA, and considering to going to YubiKey for higher level security. however, somehow I am afraid of losing the YubiKey, and then really being locked out of my Fidelity account.
And you are you
YMMV
