We have turned off the username field is all views and set it to use their email. Registration and login work great with just email but password resets require the user to enter both their email and username.

Is there any way to disable the requirement for users to enter their username on the password reset screen? The username does not exist anywhere else on this site so users will not know what to enter.

Many thanks.

There's probably a more elegant way, don't know if this will work and it depends how you set up your user names:

set up auto action that sets username to e-mail address upon registration
change the language strings that you see on the password reset screen.. e.g. username -> e-mail-address; e-mail -> confirm e-mail address

You need to set CB to use email login only. Within CB > Configuration > General set "Login Method" to "Email Address". This will give you the below forgot login usage.

That would also work, good thinking! :)
