I suggest changing the requirement of using an email address with each account to be optional. My system has no email setup, and I imagine most people are in the same boat, so forcing all accounts to have an email as a username and logging in with it doesn't make sense. In this situation it's just a longer username ending in a domain name which may or may not even be a valid email address.
My suggestion:
Allow users to log in with a username rather than an email address, and for those who have one and the server is set up to allow for it, allow them to log in with both their email address and their username.
I suggest this here rather than the official Bitwarden page, as I don't see them having any other choice to require an email with their cloud setup. For a privately hosted setup, there is no pressing need for email, so it should be optional and up to the admin to decide.
