This plugin can override the Authors metabox on the post add/edit screen, letting users who can edit other people’s posts, reassign a post to others user on the site.
This is especially useful in situations where you’ve created custom user roles that WordPress doesn’t recognize as Authors. If you want to allow your content editors and administrators to assign new or existing content to anyone, you’ll (hopefully) like this plugin very much indeed.
On WordPress 5.0, the metabox will appear below the main block editor (see screenshot). I will be supporting updates to the Status & Visibility box as soon as possible.
I’m not sure how far back this plugin will work, I’m saying it requires 3.5 or greater — it was originally developed using WordPress 4.1.

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
