Hello boys and girls,
I've been looking at a way to maintain access to the user name when using the Custom Authentication by email, as explained in the book.
I think logging in via email is a good idea, as I still have members to our Curling site, who are quite forgetful of their usernames, but email's tend to not change. That being said, I've got at least one player who has actually gotten himself 3 different user accounts, because he forgets his username.
On the flip side, many folks like to be called by their names, be it a pseudonym, or their actual name, rather than johnny274
