Those are email addresses. Give a pointer to such a provider that does
this.

You have no idea what this does. A URL like this specifically provides
a method for the user to log in to the Web server running on the host
mycompany.org under the username jim. If the password for the jim
account is not null then the user will be prompted for the password.
Accounts are a property of the Web server so you need to look at the
Web server's documentation to see how to implement accounts.

This has nothing to do with DNS.
