Introduction
E-Mail Authentication Plugin for Joomla! 5 / 6
This plugin allows your users to authenticate themselves on your Joomla! website with their email address (used during registration). Instead of the username, visitors simply enter the mail address of the account.
The core Joomla authentication plugin keeps handling usernames, so both continue to work side by side. Logging into the administrator with an e-mail address is off by default and can be enabled in the plugin options.
A note:
The plugin does not adapt the language files. This means that if you want the login window to say "user name or e-mail address" instead of "user name", you have to realise this via Joomla's own language overrides.
