🚀 Feature: Login & Sign up using Username & Password

Discussed in #2324

Hi
In many projects customers prefer username & password based authentication since they not allocate official email address to users as well as they require user management to create users and assign to teams to handle rights. Whether its possible to do?

🔖 Feature description

As shown above this was already discussed but it wasn't posted as a feature request, so I repost it here trying to get noticed.

🎤 Pitch

It would be simply useful for simple applications without the need for emailing users.

One possible solution is to provide a setting to

• make the email field in POST /v1/account optional
• provide a new field "username"

And another setting to completely disable the email functionality (like magic link, etc.).

FYI, you can disable login methods by going to your Appwrite console > Project > Users > Settings.

Currently the only method to login documented is email/password

There are plenty of login methods shown on that page including oauth, anonymous, magic url, and now phone auth. There just isn't user id & password auth.

I have an idea (Dont know if it would work).

During your registration/login process, replace your email input with username input. When the user click on the submit button internally append @[any_string].com at the end of their username in the handler function and use this new value as an email.
