Hello :cool:
Signin Page -- Forgot Password, Forgot Userame (Click here)
If I was a returning customer.... and I forgot my Password and Username.. .But I know my email address....
<input onclick="getNext('LoginProblem', 'Username');window.location.href='#Username';" value=Username type=radio name=LoginProblem> I forgot my password <input onclick="getNext('LoginProblem', 'ForgotUsername');window.location.href='#ForgotUsername';" value=ForgotUsername type=radio name=LoginProblem> I forgot my username
If I was standard customer and had setup an acocunt 9 months ago.... Username, Password, Email Address, Etc..
I am back at the store website ready to buy something and I forgot my username. I know my email address but I can not for the life of me remember my user name.
Is there an option in the system that I can turn on to allow the customer to request a password reset by submitting and email address?
Also to note.... the username field seems to allow spaces... You would think that the validation would restrict this... (just a thought)

David -- this is a big sore subject with me -- part of the problem with BV in this area is if a customer creates more than one account with the same email address -- and I have probably hundreds of entries like this -- and they request a password reset, the program I don't think knows how to send the response -- which account does the program access to get the password reset? In this case the customer doesn't get anything - so we get a phone call (or they just create another account).
What is needed -- for one thing -- is if a customer tries to create an account with an email address that is already in use, then they should be notified of this and not allowed to create another account. |

David,
I'm an advocate of using the email address as the username; it solves a lot of problems. We've customized several of our clients' stores to work this way. Back to your original question, no, there is nothing like what you describe out-of-the-box but it could easily be created by a developer. |

This is how our checkout works in the Develisys BVC 5 Toolkit. Granted, you can still skirt this by using the regular BV account creation page, though typically we structure our sites to avoid that page. |
