My users occasionally forget their usernames. I suspect that your users do too. Heck, I forget my usernames once in a while! Fortunately I never forget my email address. Why must users login with their username when an email address is just as unique? Keep your users coming back with hassle free authentication.
By enabling both this plugin and the Authentication - Joomla! plugin, a user can login using EITHER their username or their email address. Additionally, lost-password requests can accept an email address as well as a username.
By enabling this plugin while the Authentication - Joomla! plugin is disabled, a user can login using ONLY their email address (plus password, of course)
ATTENTION: This plugin does not alter the wording of your login page or your login module. You must implement a simple output override to accomplish the login module label in my attached screenshot. The constants to override are:
COM_USERS_LOGIN_USERNAME_LABEL
COM_USERS_FIELD_RESET_CONFIRM_USERNAME_LABEL
MOD_LOGIN_VALUE_USERNAME
Version 2.2 - Joomla 3.2 compatibility
Version 2.3 - fix missing login error messages
Version 2.3.1 - added Joomla Update System compatibility
Version 2.3.2 - fixed error in package XML file. Users must uninstall 2.3/2.3.1 before installing this update
4/26/2012 - Joomla 1.5/1.6/1.7 availability and support withdrawn.
All of my extensions are free and none of my extensions display advertisements or links to my sites or services. If you feel that I have blessed you, then you can bless me by making a contribution to fund future development. Visit the "Website" link to make a contribution.

Joomla Authentication - EMail Language Files
Is Joomla Authentication - EMail not available in your language?
