Signup Assistant - Email as Username

[jgrotto]

Hi,

Is there a best approach for using Email as Username with the Signup Assistant and take advantage of all the features (email confirmation, password recovery, etc.) The only way I've found to do it is keep both username and email fields in the database.

Thanks!

Yes, it's probably best to repeat the data twice, although not strictly necessary from a pure DB perspective.
Or you can keep the username field but leave it empty. For the sake of the user registration a username field is always requested.

From the LoginAssistant side you can point the username field to the email, and that's it.

Cheers
