Should I use email or username for login?
Emails Are Easier to Remember
It's easier for users to remember their email than username. This is because users check their email is regularly and type it often. It's a mistake for sites to not allow users to log in with their email. Users need to do a lot of work if they forget their username.
What is the difference between email and username?
The username is the name you choose to be identified with for e-mail purposes and that you have provided to the e-mail host to create your e-mail account. The domain name is the internet designation for the e-mail host, which may be a private site, company, organization, or government entity.
Should username be the same as email address?
The best way to protect yourself? Use something other than your e-mail address as your ID for bank account(s) and other online accounts that store your birth date, Social Security number, and other sensitive information. Also, don't use an identical ID for multiple accounts.
Is username more secure than email?
Having a username provides more obscurity than email does which provides security as a bruteforcer would requires the username before being able to perform an attack. An email is not as obscure as a username as email.
