Joomla Email Login Plugin - Email as Username option

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.
This plugin will help you solve this topic forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=979774

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.
