PrestaShop Login By User Name | User Name Sign-in – Signup

Description

• Enhanced Usability: Allowing customers to log in with either a username or email greatly improves usability and convenience. Users can select the method they find most familiar or easiest to remember, creating a more user-friendly experience.
• Flexibility: Supporting both usernames and email addresses for login provides versatility for users. Some might prefer their unique username, while others may find it easier to log in with their email, which is often linked to other online services.
• Increased Accessibility: Accepting email addresses for login ensures that users who forget their username can still access their accounts. Emails are generally easier to recall than specific usernames, enhancing the login process’s accessibility.
• Enhanced Security: Combining a password with either a username or an email address adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access their accounts, thereby minimizing the risk of unauthorized access.
• User Identification: Allowing logins through both usernames and email addresses facilitates effective user identification. Users can be uniquely recognized based on their chosen login method, simplifying the personalization of their shopping experience and management of access permissions.
• Integration with Existing Systems: By enabling email logins, this module can integrate seamlessly with existing user databases or management systems, streamlining data processes without needing extensive data mapping or transformations.
