Email as username

I am happy with the feature of being able to login with email in stead of usernames.
I recently did generate the username and to be the email at registration but earlier it wasn't.

Now I have the problem that I say users to login with there email but if they want to request a lost pass action they need there (old) username to get the verification code to be accepted. Way to complicated as I wanted to make things easier :-(

I have Easysocial 1.2.2 and Joomla 3.3.3 together with JFBConnect 6.1.2 to make login and register easy but it is not really easy yet. Any clue how to get only email and make the username really unneeded?


Thanks for thinking with me
