Use email instead of username for auth about openmaize HOT 6 CLOSED

The current plan is to change the default value to :email, for Openmaize.Login and the installer, when updating to version 3.0, which should be some time in the next week.

I want to keep this issue open for two or three weeks to see if we can get other people's ideas.

It's fairly straightforward to use email with the Login module:

plug Openmaize.Login, [unique_id: :email] when action in [:create]

Although, removing usernames altogether doesn't seem a good idea.

Thanks for the feedback. It's good to get other people's input on this.

As for usernames, we won't remove them. It's just a question of what the default should be.

My present thoughts about this matter.

I'll probably leave the default as it is, but I'm going to add a switch to the generator so that it is easy to use email, or anything else, instead of username. The generator can then be called like this:

mix openmaize.gen.phoenxiauth email --confirm

Commit a442f77 implements this change to the generator.
