The manual explains it:

-u
   Forces psql to prompt for the user name and password before connecting to   the database.
   This option is deprecated, as it is conceptually flawed. (Prompting for a   non-default user name and prompting for
apassword because the server   requires it are really two different things.) You are encouraged to look   at the -U and
-Woptions instead.
