[Typo3-dev] Other field as FrontendUser Identity

[Suman Debnath]

Actually a few days ago I tried the same thing. But somehow my local 
installation did not accept the email addr as username. I simply could not 
log in! Could not investigate further though. Maybe the prob is with my code 
itself...
