User name other than email address

Hi Eric,

I find that using the email address as validation is somewhat unintuitive, I hope that is the correct word.

Any way what happens when you have 2 people living in the same house that use the same email address, for instance my wife and I use the same email address here at home. I am putting together a site for family, and find that once I register with my email address, now my wife cannot register. The same holds true for my parents, once my dad registers, my mom cannot register using the same email address.

We have other family members that are in the same situation, so I for one would be very grateful for a solution to this issue, other than forcing one family member to maybe sign up for a yahoo account.

Would it not be better, or easier to maybe have the URSP use a user name for validation.

I should mention that at this point I am working locally with wamp server, I doubt that would make a difference for right now.

So, could you please provide a solution, hopefully in plain easy to follow instructions.

Thank you

Larry
