Title: Register with email instead of username in VM 2.6
Post by: kratzi on April 21, 2014, 22:59:13 PM

Hi all,

I have found this soultion with the following link.

https://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?action=post;topic=107226.15;last_msg=412561

What is required is to register with the email add instead of a user name. Who in the world remembers a username?

Could one of yor pros please have a look on how to solve this with the new version of VM 2.6.

I don't want customers to remember anymore their username.

Greetings kratzi

VM 2.6; J 2.5.19

See this plugin - http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-access/email-authentication/10343

I have not used it. But in my experience it is the password that is usually forgotten, not the username.

Hi and thank you for your proposal.

I am using already such a plugin however I would prefer my customers to register only with the email.

This is quite standard in nearly every online shop I am registered with.

But very unsecure. The loginname is part of the password!
