  I'd love to see the ability to search users by email address instead of just by username.
  
  All too often I get people asking for help logging in because they can't remember their username. So I end up searching the usertable via SQL to find their user record and get their username.

  If you use the Retrieve Lost Password, you can ask to have your password sent to you just by entering the e-mail address, and it will also send the username.
  
  If it's not clear enough for your users, you might want to put a section into that page explaining the process.

  Yeah, I know that they can do that, but it adds another step. They send me a note, then I have to either look it up are tell them to use the password request to find their username.
  
  Also I like to delete accounts who's emails bounce when I send out an email to all users. So the only thing I get back is the bounce message with their email address and there is no easy way to correlate that with a user account.
  
  I would think this would be a simple enhancement to make, just add another form field and query against the email field in the database.
