Are you saying that sites should allow users to use email addresses to log in, rather than usernames? As I understand it, the former is a more recent thing.

I think they're saying that if a website requires an email address to login, they should label it as email address instead of username.

I can't stand it when I try and log in to a website and fail 4 times. Then finally click "Forgot Username" and all that pops up is a box saying my username is my email address.
