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.

Many people use wordpress to run blogs alongside their Ruby on Rails applications. And many 
Ruby on Rails applications use very similar login systems, derived from the restful_authentication 
or clearance plugins. This plugin provides hooks so that your wordpress blog can read your rails 
app’s database.yml file, connect to that database and authenticate the user against your rails app.
This plugin requires the syck PHP extension for parsing yaml. Instructions for installing syck are available at 
http://trac.symfony-project.org/wiki/InstallingSyck
<h3>To Do</h3>
<ul>
<li>Add automated tests</li>
<li>Solicit user feedback on further options</li>
</ul>
