Hi Eddie,

In it's simplest form yea, I'd just get them to choose a login name.

From a usability point of view though, I prefer to go with using the email as the login. In the past I've just generated a random login name knowing they won't use it, and just use some custom logic to do the login (I don't use the email as the actual username as it should be possible to change your email, without affecting any existing references to the member). You can still use the membership providers to do it aswell like so.

string username = Membership.GetUserNameByEmail(Login1.UserName );
if (username != null)
{
 if (Membership.ValidateUser(username, Login1.Password))
 {
  ...
 }
}
