Authenticate brings proper member authentication into ExpressionEngine with inline error handling, removes the ugly redirect screens, and supports logging in with an e-mail address opposed to a username. Authenticate supports forgot password forms too.

Overview

Front-end authentication that doesn’t suck

The native front-end authentication for ExpressionEngine isn’t very good. A main pitfall to the default Member Module is the inability to not require usernames. E-mail addresses are much easier to remember and are one less point of error for most users when it comes to remembering something. Another big fault of Member Module is it’s lack of proper error handling. There is no real good way to display this stuff inline, in the template, in a familiar fashion.

Authenticate makes life easy and allows you to give your users a good experience.

A top-notch add-on. Needed to give my clients the ability to log in to an EE2-based app with their email instead of a username AND I wanted to easily customize the ‘forgot password’ form with the same theme as the rest of the app. This add-on made both these tasks a BREEZE!
