 * Hi
 * Great plugin. I set the plugin to login with email. How can I get the username
   to be set same as the email in wp under users as my custom script requires email
   address as usernames
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * We actually have a filter in place which you can use to set the username the 
   same as the email address, in case you login with Email only: _wppb\_generated\
   _random\_uername_.
 *     ```
       function wppb_same_username_as_email($username, $email){
           $username = sanitize_email($email);
           return $username;
       }
       add_filter('wppb_generated_random_username', 'wppb_same_username_as_email',10, 2);
       ```
   
 * Make sure to place this code in an [empty plugin](https://gist.github.com/sareiodata/76f701e01db6685829db)
   or your active theme’s _functions.php_ file.
 * P.S. Thank you for your kind words regarding the plugin.
