Hi mara7,

a very similar MOD already exists for Olympus:

Prime Login via E-Mail
This MOD will let a user login with either their username or e-mail address.
As soon as you have logged in with your email address you should be able to see your username (hopefully).

Regards
Wolfgang

I think that there is no requirement for a box of username in the page of forgot password.

the email box is enough like a vBulliten. to send username and new password.

Another vote for this mod or a way to get temporary password by just putting in email into request form.

this would be very helpful.

A lot of users who dont visit often and get a reminder email will forget either their password or username.
If you could just enter the email and get both pass/user it would be nice.
