Is it possible to use the email instead of username in the login control.?

I'm using ASP.NET membership functionality.
I'd rather have each user account keyed on an
email instead of a user name. My main problem with user names is that
duplicates become likely and I don't want people to have to enter a bunch of
different user names before a unique one is found.

There's nothing to prevent you from asking them to use their email address
as a username. Simply use a regular expression validator when they create
their account to ensure they are entering a valid email. You'll probably
want to hand-code the account creation process and set the username and
email to the value they enter.

I found using the email as userID more intuitive.

and then u can provide the First/Second name to display user name, without
showing user email
