Increase length of MemberID field to allow longer email addresses as login
Posted: 2018-08-27 11:15
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:

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
