why don't we get usernames?

Why did we go to email and passwords? what was the point in that decision beyond making it worse for people to log in with phones?

Re: why don't we get usernames?

Yeah, its a trivial detail, but i much rather login with my username and pword, than with my email address.

Gives it a kind of personal quality to it, letting you know youre the ruler of this planet, while the email login is kind of clinical and disociative.

Only a tiny thing in the scheme of things yeah and probably not worth writing a forum reply, but still, i agree with you D:

Its your planet, something we all dedicate a large chunk of our lives to protecting and growing. Not an email account.

Call me pathetic, but :/

<Appocomaster> I checked earlier today and I estimate that 5% or more of login are mobiles

<Appocomaster> if anything, we should be making it more mobile friendly :-)
That was said last CH. The email login clearly is not mobile friendly

Re: why don't we get usernames?

Allow users to enter either a username, email address or their user id with their password. This way they could enter whichever login they prefer. It's probably too late for this round.

Is it much of an issue though? Surely your mobile browser must be able to remember login details?

Re: why don't we get usernames?

This can be done retroactively by allowing people to set a username on the preferences page.

Re: why don't we get usernames?

My mobile saves my details, but I suppose using an email address isn't as convenient as a username - especially since soon we're supposed to have this "persistent" login all round aren't we? so we can track our ranks over many rounds and use the same details.

Re: why don't we get usernames?

its a little bit more insecure since people are stupid enough to use the same passwords across sites.
