Is it at all possible to log in to the control panel with your email instead of your username in the username field? Any way to do this? Has anyone done it?

I have that installed already, It is only designed for the front end and not the control panel. Look at this page in his docs at number 1. http://ee-garage.com/nsm-email-login/support

D’oh! Sorry, I’ve done this on a project once, and thought I had used the NSM add-on; we actually used this: http://www.solspace.com/docs/detail/user_special_functions/#email_is_username
Sorry for the confusion 😉

Hi mattgreen110,
Did Nick’s second suggestion get you on the right track? Zoo’s Visitor also offers this functionality, but also does a lot more, so it may be overkill.
Cheers!
