Helping Lightheaded Subscribers | Login With E-Mail Wordpress Plugin
I look and, sometimes, giggle at the usernames people register on this blog. Some are easy to remember, some are ... funny ... in a way I fear they would forget them. So I decided to give a helping hand and allow people to login using email addresses. By default Wordpress won't allow you to login using the email address of your account.
But Uncle 5ub knows better and can imagine some people use the same email and password to register on all blogs (to remember easily) so ... I decided to help them. Now, on this blog, you can login using the EMail address you used to register your account. And, as Uncle 5ub is a nice guy ... here's the plugin for you to help your subscriber base ... remember.
The Login With EMail Wordpress Plugin
Registration is FREE, quick, painless and worth its weight in gold.
Save it as login-with-email.php inside your wp-content/plugins/5ubliminal folder and activate it!
Looking forward to you blogging about it :)
I like this idea but what are you thoughts on OpenID or…*gasp*…Passport or something like that?
Read my take here.
I missed that today. However; unless you are using an anonymous proxy (which can be subpoenaed anyway) you are being tracked EVERYWHERE.
I mean I’m as paranoid as the next person but isn’t that stance a smidge over the top?
I don’t care about the tracking. I care about the stuff that’s mine. My subscribers are mine not Feedburners, my EMails are mine, not Google’s to enjoy … and so on. Tracking comes with the teritory. Ownership of your own stuff is what matters and you can still hold on to.
Tilting at windmills…all your base belong to us.
