There are a few hundred plugins out there which intend to solve the same problem: How to get user profiles, login and registration features outside the Admin area.
Many of them are amazing, but I did not yet find a solution that just provides the basics and allows me to do the rest.
I created this plugin as a solid base to use in the different websites I work on and let the appearance and custom stuff be handled by the theme or even a complementary self-made plugin.

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.

Email Login

Thanks for a slick little plugin! Works just like it should. You're awesome!



Does what it does out of the box.

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

Does not actually remove the login field
