[Question] E-mail Login ?

[Rohan]

I was wondering if we could use our Account's E-Mail address as an alternative to the Username when we are logging in. Is it possible ?

Why bother? It's such a drag to even type username.

I'm just laughing at the fact that your username is Sam... Three letters...

You must be registered for see images

It should be done...makes less hassle if you have a name like mine.

I am saying that it would be better than the Username Option because :-

A) It gives More Security, your username is clearly visible to everyone, but not everyone will know your E-mail Address.

B) It allows those with special characters in their username to bypass the annoying copy pasting whenever they login.

Zise doesn't allow those symbols to be put in usernames. I mean special characters like these : ᶀ ᶁ ᶂ ᶃ ᶄ ᶆ ᶇ ᶈ ᶉ ᶊ

Well if we're going to get a plug-in that allows you to log in with your email, we might as well get a feature to sign in with Facebook and the likes as well, no?

I understand your concern though, but as far as I know, it's never been a problem. Plus, NB remembers your username like FB remembers your email and so on, so unless you are on a different device (mobile, etc) or on a different computer, it shouldn't be much of a problem.
As for security, you strike a point. Then again, this is NB and not something that is likely to be attacked (although it has happened before, but it was hacked all together, and that's a different story).

If it's a simple plug-in though, I don't see why not. In this case, Zise is the man with the knowledge and a reply to this question would have been more efficient if he was PMed instead I suppose. Then again, that wouldn't create the same "buzz" so to speak.
