The reason simply there are too many usernames to remember.
However, if you are using Email as the user id, it is better to use 'Email' and drop 'Username' altogether.

I am using the email address as a username and am allowing users to change their email... which obviously also changes their login. Is there any reason why allowing this flexibility would be a problem? users are tracked with userid.
thanks

I'm using Zend_Auth with a "Database Table Authentication". What I want to do is allow the user to login with either a username or email address as the "identityColumn". How would I allow both. I'm stuck.
