Log in with username and password in Phoenix app
Does ash auth Phoenix have a declarative way to log in with username instead of email address? I changed my resources but it looks like I need to change something else.

I think there is a DSL option to specify this

That top guide shows
identity_field :emailUsing " identity_field(:username)" does what I want. However, is there a way to require email address and username in the registration form? I tried
But it will prompt for one or the other.
Yeah, IIRC the autogenerated UI won’t add additional fields.
The general idea is to make it a two step process, like redirect them to a username screen.
PRs welcome WRT adding additional fields automatically
This article shows how to replace the sign in and register routes with your own custom liveviews, which is probably a great way to go to add your custom fields during registration: https://alembic.com.au/blog/customising-ash-authentication-with-phoenix-liveview

Thank you! I have been through that article. Very well written. I’d love to be able to give you some code back that would have a flow that say would verify the email address first and then ask for a username. My liveview and elixir skills are still pretty bad.
Currently toying with idea that email address isn’t unique. Only usernames in a tenant are unique
And why is email special? It could be a phone number.
