How many times do people forget user names to their accounts?
Aren’t Email addresses much easier to remember ?
Wouldn’t it be better for users to login using their email instead?
Don’t you just hate that the AspNet Login control allows users to login using only a username ?
Well I have made thing easier by extending the default AspNet Login Control to make it more flexible.
This useful login control enables users to login to your AspNet site using either their Email or Username. You do not have to change any code or database on your existing website – the control does all the magic !
All you have to do is drag it on your login page and your done !
This an extended control and thus behaves just like the default aspnet login control. So you can style it and handle its events the regular way. Authentication is still handled by the built in AspNet Membership so your website will still remain secure.
Furthermore an alternative extended password recovery control is included that asks for either an Email or Username before retrieval.
So do your website’s members a huge favor and allow them to login using their emails !
