I have clicked in the user name field, typed trevjo, and then entered my password on this site thoustands of times. It's trivial on a PC, but on the phone it gets really old because you have to hunt and peck for each tap (including selecting the text fields and typing each character). Plus the possibility of mistyping it is significantly higher than on a PC, and fixing typos on the phone takes longer than just typing the whole thing in the first place.

Current implementation of login.pl:
Username and password fields are empty initially. Default focus is nowhere.

Suggested implementation of login.pl:
Username is remembered from previous session if the checkbox labeled "Remember my username?" is checked. Default focus is in the password field if the username is remembered. Default focus is in the username field if the username is not remembered.

Over the course of a year, estimating 500 phone logins, this would save me literally an hour or two, not to mention hundreds of times of being annoyed.

You can always change your user name to "."

I would still have to tap in the username field, type something for my username, then also tap in the password field, all of which is unnecessary and vexes me.

+1 to the checkbox.

However, this may be something you can do from your home computer/mobile device. I know on my computer, I only have to type the first character of my name and it brings me a drop down of my name. I select my name and a password populates with asterisks. I haven't typed my username/password in years...for a while my user name had the Spades symbol ♠ which in order to type in you have to type with no spaces & # 9 8 2 4 ; . If I would have to do that thousands of times, I probably wouldn't have logged in half the time. It's the same for my mobile device.

On my phone (iPhone), at some point I accidentally hit 'never for this site' on the remember password prompt on my Safari app, so I had to set up an auto-correct. Now I just have to type in 'vk' and it fills in my username, but I agree that it is very annoying and easy to make mistakes when logging in on mobile. I think I have seen suggestions about saving passwords, staying logged in, and maybe a couple more check boxes, but never a remember username check box. I like the idea way better than the rest because there is no risk of unintentionally staying logged in or saving a password on a public portal.

mine already does this... don't know whether its something I've stored browser or what. not using a phone though, only notebook or desktop

i go to login page and I just click on the empty box and it puts both my user name and password in there

I also recall having a greasemonkey thing that would enter it all automatically and take me to my homepage but lost it at some point.

Mine did until, like I said, I accidentally hit never for this site. And there is no way to go back and change that that I know of.
