Username Question

Client wants to start allowing members to register with their email address in place of the username. I have checked to see if an email is accepted in the username field when registering and there doesn't seem to be a problem. Will there be any issues with using an email address to login with instead of a username?

Using highly customized version of XOOPS 2.2.4 (upgrading at this time is currently on hold).

Thanks,
Hope

I don't think, it should be a problem with registering, the only issue is, how it will be enforced?

You can probably hack the system, so at the registration it doesn't show the name field, and when saving, it saves the email address as the name.

That would be probably the simplest.
