You know most login forms use user & pass.
And some go the email & pass. What are the pros and cons of them? Here is what I have thought of.
PROS of email
CONS
I do believe this is programming related because ease of use of a web application is something important that shouldn't be overlooked.

Don't make your e-mail address your user ID The news that thieves have stolen the e-mail address of millions of Yahoo users should serve as a warning if you've used an e-mail address as a user ID for a banking, shopping, or other online account. Using your e-mail address to sign into accounts has its benefits.
Emails Are Easier to RememberIt's easier for users to remember their email than username. This is because users check their email is regularly and type it often. It's a mistake for sites to not allow users to log in with their email. Users need to do a lot of work if they forget their username.
The username is the name you choose to be identified with for e-mail purposes and that you have provided to the e-mail host to create your e-mail account. The domain name is the internet designation for the e-mail host, which may be a private site, company, organization, or government entity.
This name is commonly an abbreviation of the user's full name or his or her alias. For example, an individual known as John Smith may be assigned the username smitj, the first four letters of the last name followed by the first letter of the first name.
Another thing to remember is that if other users can also see the "username", you shouldn't use mail addresses due to privacy issues.
