One more from my side: Unless the login is for a dashboard/control panel, make the URL something that is easy to remember. I mention this particularly with respect to a social network like orkut. Users would prefer to give out their profile ids if they were something like orkut.com/anand rather than how it is at present... Also, on your first point, I would suggest a provision to login with the email address since that is something unique and hard to forget. Great points.
