Authentication - EMail

Extend Joomla! authentication to accept email instead of (or in addition to) username. 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? By enabling both this plugin and the Authentication - Joomla! plugin, a user can login using EITHER their username or their email address. 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. All of my extensions are free.
