Your users know their email address. They don't know their Joomla username — and they shouldn't have to. Authentication - Email lets your users log in with their email address and password, exactly like they do on every other site they visit. No more "I forgot my username" support tickets. No more abandoned logins.

How It Works

When a user types their email address into the login form, the plugin finds their account and logs them in — just like entering a username would. You can run it alongside Joomla's default login so users can use either one, or disable the default and make email the only option. No forms to redesign, no database changes, nothing to configure.

What You Get

• Email login, out of the box - Users type their email and password and they're in. Nothing else to learn.
• Flexible or strict - Run alongside the default Joomla login for either/or, or go email-only by disabling the default plugin. Your call.
• No setup required - Install, enable, done. No configuration screens, no template edits.
• Works with System - No Usernames - Remove the username field from registration and profiles entirely. Together, these two plugins deliver a site where usernames simply don't exist, from the moment a user registers to every time they log in.

Your email is your identity. Act like it!
