The problems caused by using a unique email address as the user ID goes back to 2018 and still you have not done ANYTHING or even responded with a rational. Most users have given up on you and don't complain. We know it is useless. It is becoming if anything more of a problem (once an elderly member problem) but the younger members now no longer use email. We have employed the awkward workaround that others have but it causes continuous problems and irritations. WA is a swear word in our club because it is so unintuitive and awkward.
You MUST change the "email" field to "User ID" and allow a simple string which could be the email address, FirstnameLastName or any other string. Then another field "Email Address".
I know the change over will be tricky, much more now, since you have let it drag on for 7 years. I know you have the talent to tackle it.
The original decision was incredibly stupid. Not to fix it is inexcusable.
