Description

Use your email address instead of a username to log into your WordPress.

Since email addresses are required to be unique within WordPress anyway, they also make good identifiers for logging in. For slightly better security, set your username to something random and then just forget it and use your email address instead.

Special thanks to:

  • r-a-y for compatibility with older versions of WPMU and XML-RPC
  • andykillen for introducing translatable strings and the Dutch translation

Translations included for:

  • Bengali
  • Czech
  • Dutch
  • Farsi
  • Finnish
  • French
  • German
  • Greek
  • Hungarian
  • Italian
  • Lithuanian
  • Persian
  • Polish
  • Portuguese (Brazil)
  • Russian
  • Serbian
  • Spanish
  • Swedish
  • Turkish

Does not actually remove the login field

sun 06 Febroary 2020
The plugin does not remove the login field from the registration form, so users still need to enter a login name.

Works well

rambo3000 10 Jolay 2019
Works well

Great but no longer needed

jonbhanson 28 Desambra 2017
This was a great plugin, but WordPress 4.5 introduced the ability to login with email so it is not longer needed.

Words very perfect

mayurkathale 20 Aprily 2017
Using this plugin users can login using their emailid as well as username. Works with buddypress as well. Thanks

Does what it does out of the box.
