Increase length of MemberID field to allow longer email addresses as login

[jsetzer]

The memberID length (login name) is limited to 20 characters.
It should be increased to at least 80 characters from my point of view.


The topic has already been discussed here:
How to change the max of 20 characters for the username

Problem
If you want your users to sign in using their e-mail address, registration will fail if their email-address is longer than 20 characters.
I have a customer who's domain name is 23 characters already. MAILBOXNAME + "@" + DOMAINNAME + "." + TLD can become more than 40 characters easily.

As far as I can see, the necessary changes are quite small, because you have already centralized the validation in admin\incCommon.php / is_allowed_username()-function.

I would be very if the limt could be increased!

Kind Regards,
Jan

There are several arguments against using the email address as a username. However, AppGini doesn't prevent users from doing so (and doesn't enforce it either). I've added your request to our backlog for future releases. Stay tuned, we're planning to make that backlog/roadmap public soon, with the ability for pro users to vote features up or down.
