SilverStripe Auth Username Module
=================================

[](#silverstripe-auth-username-module)

This module introduces username authentication to SilverStripe. It also provides additional functionality for retrieving usernames and password.

Set Up
------

[](#set-up)

Copy the module folder to your SilverStripe site's root directory.

The module's \_config.php file automatically:

- adds the UsernameAuthenticator to the set of registered authenticators
- decorates Member with a 'Username' DB field, and functions for generating a username, and for generating a password

In your site \_config.php optionally add either of the following:

```
Authenticator::set_default_authenticator("UsernameAuthenticator"); // makes username authentication default
Authenticator::unregister("MemberAuthenticator"); // removes default email + password authentication

```
