CakeDC Users plugin: Use email field as a username -

is possible configure cakedc's users plugin use email field username?

by default there both username , email fields in users plugin , work great! use email username authentication, user registration can simplified.

i have tried overriding usersauthcomponent loading auth component in appcontroller, login stops working , says "wrong username or password".

public function initialize() {     parent::initialize();     $this->loadcomponent('flash');     $this->loadcomponent('auth', [         'loginaction' => [             'plugin' => 'cakedc/users',             'controller' => 'users',             'action' => 'login',         ],         'authenticate' => [             'all' => [                 'scope' => ['active' => 1]             ],             'cakedc/users.rememberme',             'form' => [                 'fields' => ['username' => 'email', 'password' => 'password']             ]         ],         'authorize' => [             'cakedc/users.superuser',             'cakedc/users.simplerbac',         ],         'storage' => 'session'     ]);      $this->loadcomponent('cakedc/users.usersauth'); } 

following documentation, turned off usersauthcomponent in bootstrap.php.

configure::write('users.auth', false); 

is there trick? believe possible, or maybe bug?

i using cakephp 3.1 , cakedc user plugin 3.1

i think multicolumnauthenticate used for, viewing plugin on github. try this:

public function initialize() {     parent::initialize();     $this->loadcomponent('flash');     $this->loadcomponent('auth', [         'loginaction' => [             'plugin' => 'cakedc/users',             'controller' => 'users',             'action' => 'login',         ],         'authenticate' => [             'all' => [                 'scope' => ['active' => 1]             ],             'cakedc/users.rememberme',             'foc/authenticate.multicolumn' => [                 'fields' => [                     'username' => 'username',                     'password' => 'password'                 ],                 'columns' => ['username', 'email'],                 'usermodel' => 'users',             ]         ],         'authorize' => [             'cakedc/users.superuser',             'cakedc/users.simplerbac',         ],         'storage' => 'session'     ]);      $this->loadcomponent('cakedc/users.usersauth'); } 

this check against both email , username when logging in.
