ollama - 💡(How to fix) Fix Login no longer works with username, and only email accepted [1 participants]

TL;DR

Allowing login with either username or email, or providing a username-based account lookup/recovery tool, would resolve the issue.

Guidance

• Review the authentication system change to identify why username login was restricted to only accept email addresses.
• Consider implementing a fallback or alternative login method that accepts usernames, to support existing users who registered with usernames.
• Develop a username-based account lookup or recovery tool to help users who only remember their username retrieve their account information.
• Notify registered users about the change in login credentials to avoid confusion and lockouts.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more details on the authentication system implementation.

Notes

The exact implementation details of the authentication system change are not provided, which limits the ability to offer a precise fix. However, allowing username login or providing a recovery tool would likely address the issue.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by implementing a username-based account lookup or recovery tool, as this would provide an immediate solution for users locked out due to the change, without requiring a full overhaul of the authentication system.
