Administrator Login Name larger than 25 characters?

Hi,
I want my administrator users to login with their email address. Problem: some email addresses have more than 25 characters. Is it possible to revoke the 25 characters restriction for the login name or to set to 50 characters?

Hi

Sounds like a good idea to me

You could make a feature request or a pull request on github if you can code

PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK
STEP 1: BACKUP YOUR DATABASE!!!
This only requires a simple database modification.
You can modify the table using phpmyadmin with this command:

ALTER TABLE 'YOUR_DATABASE_NAME'.'pl_admin'
CHANGE 'loginname' 'loginname' VARCHAR(60) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL;
