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

This plugin modifies the <code>/wp-json/wp/v2/users</code> endpoint to require authentication.
By default on a WordPress site you can list the users that have posted content on the site by visiting this endpoint.
This plugin requires the user to be authenticated to view the list of users.
<h3>What this means</h3>
If you go directly to the URL <code>/wp-json/wp/v2/users</code> you will get a <code>401 Unauthorized</code> response.
But if you open a block editor page and run the following from the browser console,
<pre><code>await wp.apiFetch({path: 'wp/v2/users'});
</code></pre>
you will get a list of users (because the <code>wp.apiFetch()</code> function authenticates the user’s call to the WordPress REST API).
