Joomla Email Login Plugin - Email as Username option was created by joomleb

Hi,
as far as I understand your "Joomla Email Login" Plugin for Joomla 4 is the heir of " Authentication Email " Plugin for Joomla 3, Right ?

Did you added this Email as Username option ?
If not yet added, Please, Can you add it ?

Hi,
It's Joomla User Authentication (not Email Authentication). It means users can login to your site by their username or email when they registered.

Hi,
it seems like I was not able to explain me well:

1 - " Authentication Email " is the name of the linked plugin. I asked you::
as far as I understand your "Joomla Email Login Plugin" for Joomla 4 is the heir of " Authentication Email " for Joomla 3, Right ?

2 - "...This plugin will help you solve this topic forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=979774 ..." = Which plugin ?!?
I am "joomleb", I wrote that topic. Have you read the entire discussion ?
I asked you:

Hi,
I understand your solution. You want to use a trick to have joomla save the username with their email address. They can then log into the website using their email.
Here are some downsides to using this approach:
- Any customizations may be lost when upgrading Joomla.
- User's email address can be made public when a certain extension uses their username (eg comment extensions, social...).
- This method should only be used for new sites. For sites that already have members, the registration form may show a duplicate error even though the email address has not been used.

yaniv rozenman K2 to Content Migration

Hi,
I've just installed the component to migrate K2 to articles on a very large site, and I have some problems:

I have 5000+ tags, and only 1400 were moved to Joomla tags.
What is the best practice for migrating the K2 items and saving the same IDs that I was using in the K2 items and categories if I already have articles and categories with the same IDs? Do I need to delete them before and check the box to "use the same K2 ID"?
The custom field type "select" doesn't seem to migrate correctly to Joomla fields. It adds the field but not with the correct type, and it fails to move the corresponding data to it.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or solutions to these issues.
Thank you,
