Login using email not working

[makoy21]

Parse Server version: 2.7.1

Email should be pass instead of the username

I’m not sure what the issue at hand is now, passing he email as the username won’t work, unless the email and the username are the same. Did you read somewhere we supported login with email?

@flovilmart I read it here http://parseplatform.org/Parse-SDK-JS/api/v1.11.0/Parse.User.html#.logIn

Looks like this is a misstatement in docs generated from ParseUser.js. You can only log in with the username, sorry if that misled you. We'll have to correct it. For future reference I would follow what's stated in the guide over what is in the api doc, although the api doc is very helpful!

parse-server supporting the email login.

When passing the email directly in the payload, instead of username, I guess we could issue and or query instead if only username is passed.

@makoy21 please note that you're trying to login with an email as the value of key username, making this not possible on the JS sdk. Although you can login with email on the server you cannot login with email in this sdk, at least not yet. We'll need to work that in as a separate login option at some point here.
