In Drupal, by default. Users can log in to the site using either their username or Email address, thanks to the Email Registration module.

How It Works

Login and Registration

The module helps in managing users' sign-up process and forgotten passwords retrieval, users can signup using only their Email address, the username will be the username part of the Email, ex: [email protected] will have the username “firstlast”.

Reset Password

Password retrieval will also require the user to fill in their Email address rather than the username which will have more sense since the password retrieval link will be sent to the Email address.
