Sign up without a Username (with Email and Password only)

Current Limitation

Currently, there is no way to create a User without requiring to fill in a username. In most apps, these days username is not mandatory.

Feature / Enhancement Description

There should be an option to disable username as a requirement and allow registration to be done with email and password (without a username). A similar issue was introduced before #465. Username and password-only registration were pointed out, and changes were done for that #469. The same thing should be introduced for email-only registration.

Example Use Case

There are various examples where a username is not required as many apps now use only email as required for registration and first_name/last_name visualization by user choice. For example, if the company does register for the app, a username should not be requested.

Alternatives / Workarounds

There shouldn't be any workarounds, just an identical idea of the previous approach where username and password are only required.

email is not required, only username and password are required. You can use the email address as the username.

I'm closing this as the question seems to have been answered.
