Login page - Email vs. username field? #6

I have this working in v3.0.6. Appears its just a label issue. When you get to the login page, it says 'Email' for the username. However, it does NOT want your email, it wants the username field you specified in the configuration. If I switch the target fields around in the configuration of the Submission account, it works as expected based on the naming on the login page.

Hey @ocbroadband, sorry it's not terribly clear - agreed.

The "Username" field should be whatever field you want to act as the login username. So in the screenshot above, you've chosen to use the Email Address field. That's pretty normal: users will then login using their email address to identify them.

But the "Email Field" is mapped to the "Username" field in your form, which means that any emails get sent out (e.g. the "forgot password" email) will be sent to whatever value is in the Username field. Which obviously won't work.
