Using email address for User Name

SharePoint FBA Pack

Hi there,

Is it possible to use an email address for the username field?

For example most sites e.g. twitter, you can login using your email address. If I try to create a user with user name 'a@b.com' it fails with unkown error

We want users to login using their email address and not having a username is just one more thing for them to remember!

Thanks for a fantastic FBA pack :-)

You can, but not with the built in functionality of the FBA Pack. I've created custom login pages for clients that do the username lookup based on the email address entered.

That's super news. Can you provide examples of login pages that would do that username lookup based on the email address entered?

There's an example here:

I think it does need some changes to get working, but it gives you a starting point.
