[quote author="jbowman" date="1183762845"]Since you are getting peoples emails, why not make that their login authentication variable, rather than their username? Since, hopefully, people won't be making email addresses visible on the site, this would also cut down on people trying to brute force password using screenname/password[/quote]
I'm sorry? I don't really understand what you mean? Why would email as login auth be more secure?
