Don't you just love it when someone develops a perfect little extension to solve a problem? That's the case with AWO Email Login! Why this has never been made part of Joomla core is beyond me. Install and enable this plugin and, voila!, your users can authenticate with their registered email address. Absolutely could NOT be easier. Don't forget to add a language override so that the login form shows "Email Address" or "Email Address / Username" instead of just "User name". Thanks to this developer!!!
I was going for an other plug-in (to pay for) but than I saw this one. It is great!
The good thing is that it still sends the username and password. Thank you!

I use this plugin in most of my sites that still run Joomla 1.5. It's a lot easier for users to login with their email than having to worry about usernames especially if I have to create the usernames for them.
It would be great if the developer creates one for Joomla 2.5 since I am starting to migrate my sites.

Thanks for review, and for pointing out Joomla 2.5 is not listed as one of the supported versions. This has been corrected and you can now download the 2.5 version.
I love this plugin working with Jomsocial + Kunena no issues :) The only thing i would love to see is a option to disable usernames from being used in the login so i can login with just my email.

Thanks for the review.
Logging in by username is a joomla core plugin. This can easily disabled by logging into the admin section and going to extensions->plugins. In the 'Select Type' dropdown, select 'authentication', and then disable 'Authentication - Joomla'.
Be very careful. Make sure you have another means of logging in enabled within authentication, otherwise you could lock yourself out. Disabling 'Authentication - Joomla' disables username for both backend and frontend.
Ive used numerous extensions from AWO development, free & commercial and all have worked brilliantly, most fairly easy to set up and start using within 10 minutes and support from Seyi is always great too.
AWO Development have even created a handful of bespoke modules and components for me.
A very big Thanks to Seyi & AWO Dev

Very cool, works as promised, no configuration, just allows login with email or username + password so added a little text to login module notifying users of their option. Three cheers!!!
Thank you for this little plugin. Very helpful for my client's site.
Super easy and works out of the box.
Well done.

I do believe that a username is less friendly than my old, used for ages, e-mail. So it does make sense to use something that you really use on a daily base for a login. This plugin does just that! In the Username field you can enter either a username (easy forgetable) or your registration e-mail address. This is a good part. The bad part is that the Username field during registration is still mandatory... but this is due to the Joomla "heritage" not a plugin's flaw.
Thumbs up to the author!

Like they said, it worked so easy, just install enable-done!!Best of all it's free. I was going to get the other plugin that cost but came across this and I'm very happy with it. You guys are amazing and thanks a soo much:)
Like most good add-ons this is a very simple plugin that does just what it says with the minimum of fuss.
I have a club website that I want people to be able to use occasionally without having to remember their usernames... and this fills that need.
It allows login using username or email address interchangeably, and has a very small footprint on the system, just install it, enable it and forget it.
