Login with username?

edited July 2010 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8
Does anyone know of an addon that allows you to login with a username instead of an email? I can't seem to find one for Vanilla 2. If not, what's the simplest way to accomplish this using PHP? I appreciate any help!

    You actually can log in with your username by default. It just prompts for email to be compatible with the SSO plugin. I always auth as 'Lincoln' because I'm lazy. :)

    Oh, I see. So I can actually just change the HTML view to say 'Email/Username' instead of just 'Email'? The system will automatically detect the username and continue logging in?

    Yup, as it stands now, that is correct.

    Ok, thank you very much for your help Lincoln.

    Why didn't they just put that into the text in the first place? I've spent 3 months logging in with a tedious email for NOTHING

    Your e-mail shouldn't be "tedious" to input. How do you think other people feel when they try to send you an e-mail?!

    username - 5 characters
    email - 15 characters

    It's more tedious than a username. Nuff said?
