I can't login by using email address at front-end. Abantecart accept login name only. (HTML5 template). Please check and fix it.
Thank you!

settings->checkout-> require login name - >OFF

I follow your instruction and set the required login name to "off", but still can't login by email address.
Please check and fix it.

What do you suggest we fix?
If you switch from login name to email name login setting, system does not automatically use email as login name. It will use what you have left in login name fields for customers. This is important to note.
You can manage customers login fields in the admin.
Generally, it is recommended to use loginname based customer's authentication for better security.

But abantecart v.1.6 display the message "Login Name or E-Mail Address:" on the login field. It is misleading that both login name and email address can be used to login. But abantecart v.1.5 only allow email address to login.
Besides, if I need to use thrid party login extension. (login with google or facebook). They only use email address to login. Right?
What is the new standard for abantecart v.1.6. (accept both login name and email address to login or just support login name only?)
Finally, it is clear that the email address can't be used to login abantecart v.1.6 except that if I create the user login name as email address.

I finally find out that if I disable the login by user name. Then the previous created accounts can't be login by email address. Only the new created accounts (after disable login by user name) can use email to login.
This is confusing.
So that I need to choose either accept user name or email address as login method when I setup the store and it shouldn't be changed later due to the above issue.
Suggestion : display the login text by checking the setting. Only display either login by user name or email address but not this text "Login Name or E-Mail Address:".
Besides, if I allow to login by user name, does the 3rd party login extension (login by google or facebook) is still function?

Problem (or BUG) is still active.
Is there any PATCH for this ???

I had the same problem... but its not a product (code) issue its a config (your specific installation) issue...
I suggest you disable the login name capability and then manually go through the clients (in the admin area) and remove the login names (or you could even do this in your actual database)
