Login with username?

[EOSHD]

Love V4.0 so far, great job - but I'm a bit worried that the default login protocol has shifted away from 'usernames'. People tend not to like to use their email address as they may forget which one they registered with and it is much longer to enter. They may not realise that Display Name = username and they might have a different display name to their username, which would lead to confusion upon logging in.

Is there any chance the login handler can be set to accept all 3 ways?

I'm experiencing a bug where none of my users cannot log out. Is this known?

Cheers - Andrew

The displayname has been removed in IPB4, there is only one name which is the username and the displayname.

In ACP -> Settings -> Login Handlers -> Standard

you can allow your members to login with the username or the email or both.

Ok so doesn't it make more sense to label it "username" as per IP Board 3.4 then? That's what users are used to.

It doesn't really matter but you can easily change it to username with the translator function.
