Login ID Type
Overview
Chooses whether WordPress logins accept username + email (native), username only, or email only—and relabels fields on wp-login and WooCommerce. Restricted modes can replace credential errors with instructional text unless Generic Login Errors owns the message. Soft note: email-only needs unique emails; default username+email does not change errors by itself—pair with Generic Errors for anti-enumeration.
- Sites standardizing on email login
- Brands that want cleaner login labels for members
- Teams hardening against mixed username/email guessing UX
