Setting up your WordPress site so that users can log in with their email is very popular. This is a great way to add functionality to your WordPress website and can make a difference for your users. Here's how you can change the way your site functions to include logging in with an email address.

<h2>WP Email Login Plugin for WordPress</h2>

Without doing much more than just installing and activating this plugin, you can add the functionality to your WordPress website. First, install the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-email-login/">WP Email Login Plugin for WordPress</a>. Once it's installed, you can see how it will work.

You will need to log out to see how the plugin will work, but that's all you really have to do. Now, your users can login with their email without needing to remember their username. 

<h2>Benefits of Using this Plugin for WordPress</h2>

The major benefit this free plugin provides is usability. Since the email is more personal than a username, it's easier to remember and there's less of a chance it's already taken. Most users will have different versions of the typical username they will use, which means they have to try them all or remember which specific one they used for your site.

With the WP Email Login plugin, your users won't have to worry about remembering anything other than their password. The email address is one they probably use all the time and know already. This makes it very easy for users to login in without an issue.

If you plan to build a membership site that will have hundreds or thousands of users, this is a great plugin to add. IT will help you start building your email list and allow you to do so without users having to choose different varieties of their username.

Now you know how to add the email login option to WordPress. Install and active the plugin to see it in action for yourself.
