logging in with email instead of username

[ad_1]

Hi @ogia,

Thank you for using Magic Login!

Yes, it’s possible to log users in by their email address instead of their WP username. Magic Login supports both email addresses and usernames for logging in.

and it syncs WP users by email address, so if they log into WP with username, they aren’t getting logged in as a member.

This seems a bit weird to me, as the WordPress authentication cookie shouldn’t be affected by whether users log in with their username or email address. The same cookie should be used for authentication regardless of the method.

Thanks for the quick response. Where is the option to ensure they’re being logged in by email address? I’m not sure exactly how DAP works, but it says in the docs as long as they are logged in by email address into WP, it will sync with DAP. DAP has a separate log in system.
