Joomla Email Login Plugin

Email login for Joomla

By default, when logging into a website using Joomla source code, you need to enter your Username and Password. However, in some cases, you'll want users to be able to use Email instead of their Username to log in. The plugin below will help you.

After activating the plug-in, users can log in to the website with their registered email account and password without worrying about forgetting their username.

This plugin works with Joomla 4,5 and 6.

 

After installing it, you go to the Admin page > System > Plugins > System - JMP Email Login > Enable it.

From now on, users can use both their username and email address to log in.

Note: There are some cases that after activating the plugin, the website may crash. When it does you can solve it by using your hosting's File browser to access the directory: plugins/system. Then change the folder name "email" to "email_tmp". Next, report your error to me, I will check and fix it.

    Hello,

    Plugin works like a charm in front-end, but I doesn't seem to work for administrator login as of now.
    Am I doing something wrong or is the functionality site-only?

      @Staweb "Username" is still used as usual. This plugin only adds a login method for users (in case they prefer to use an email address).

    Hello
    The plugin works fine in my Joomla! 4, but when I install the Jomsocial extension, then the plugin stops working and there is no way to log in via emial.
    Is it possible to make the plugin work with other extensions as well?

      @David I changed the order of system plugins, but the problem persists. It looks like the "System - Jomsocial Redirect" plugin is forcing the login method. With the old plugin "Authentication - EMail" from Michael Richey for Joomla 3.x login works fine. Maybe the login engine in Joomla 4 is structured differently.

      @Robi You try to go to Plugin Manager > Filter all system plugins > Click the "Sorting" button and drag the Email Login plugin to the top. I hope this issue will be fixed.

    Hello
    I had your free version. I have the impression now that it is pay only.No worries about buying it, I love it.
    I would just like to know if you have corrected what seems to me to be a problem? :
    On version 1.0, I had put nom@site.Eu and it was not recognised. I had to put nom@site.eu ?

    For info,
    a) I was not informed of an update via the joomla system :-(
    b) by putting JMP in "install from the web" I did not find this plugin!

    Regards

      @herve Hello!
      These bugs were fixed in the latest version 1.2.7
      -----
      [1]I had put nom@site.Eu and it was not recognised. I had to put nom@site.eu ?
      => Fixed.
      [2]I was not informed of an update via the joomla system :-(
      => You will receive a notification about the update but to update it, you need to download file from this page (it's paid extension).
      [3]by putting JMP in "install from the web" I did not find this plugin!
      => I still see it in "Install from the web" tab, please check my screenshot🙂

      @Tony I just tried on J4.2.3 and it still works. Have you activated the System - JMP Email Login plugin as instructed?

Orlin How to upload and attach files to Joomla articles
Hello,

I'm considering purchasing your File Attachments extension for a Joomla 5 website.

I intend to use it for distributing 3D CAD model archives (ZIP files) to website visitors.

I have three questions:

1. Does the extension generate temporary download links that automatically expire after a configurable period (e.g. 5 minutes), or are the download URLs permanent?

2. Does it support rate limiting to prevent automated bots from repeatedly requesting downloads?

3. Are the uploaded files stored outside the publicly accessible web directory, and are they delivered through a PHP download controller rather than direct file access?

These features are important because I want to protect the hosting server from automated mass downloads while allowing legitimate visitors unlimited access to different models.

Thank you!

Do users need an existing account, or can the extension automatically create an account when they verify their email for the first time? Thanks!

Can you restrict entire words (and more specifically phrases with 2 or more words) with this plugin? Or is it only good for single characters or single words?
