Should Bitwarden allow user to set username in account settings instead of using email for logging in? This option is interesting for anyone using vault as the first online account.

You mean creating an account without an email address?

Kinda, or just simply having the Username field in account settings, and add username as additional login identity beside email.
Try voting for this feature: Add "Username" and "Email" as separate entries
Alas, the fastest way to get a feature is to implement it yourself. ::

It’s kinda a bit different, this thread is about account & login form of Bitwarden itself

Bitwarden should allow adding username in profile for logging in. When the vault is the access point of everything, email doesn’t exist first in theory.
FYI, there is a similar Feature Request (proposing an option to hide the email address), in which @tgreer had suggested implementing an account “nickname” as an alias for the email.
However, I think that you may be suggesting something different. FYI, the email address is required to deliver notices about failed login attempts and successful logins from new devices, as well as reminders about subscription renewal; in addition a verified email account is required to enable the Bitwarden Send feature.
