The username and real user_id will no longer be returned by the Graph API 2.0, as either would reveal the user's real profile. The only way to determine who the user is now is to follow the new link in the data:

https://www.facebook.com/app_scoped_user_id/xxx/

This is mainly done to prevent certain developers from sharing user_ids with third-party apps and ad networks.
