I'm most likely wrong here, but to log in, don't you only need your user name (which is the public key) and your private key?

The username isn't the public key. The username is the account designation. The keys are generated in public/private pairs. For each private key you also have assigned a public key, which enables the platform to verify your private key when you login on that platform.
I thought the username use a lookup for the public key within the hive system, it's not then?
Cheers for the correction.
