Authentication by e-mail

By default, eZ users can only authenticate using their username. However, using e-mail for authentication is quite a common use case.

EzCoreExtraBundle enables the possibility for any eZ user to authenticate against their e-mail, in addition to their username.

You can easily activate it for your SiteAccess using the following config, where my_siteaccess is the name of your SiteAccess or SiteAccess group:

ez_core_extra:
    system:
        my_siteaccess:
            enable_email_authentication: true

Original behavior - authentication by username - is kept and will always have precedence (e.g. username will always be tested first).

Important note: EzCoreExtraBundle MUST be instanciated after eZ bundles in AppKernel.
