Changelog Entry
Description
This pull request introduces the ability for users to sign in with either their username or their email address. It also improves the error messaging on the sign-in page to be more specific to the login method used.
Added
Users can now sign in with their username in addition to their email address.
A toggle has been added to the login page to switch between signing in with an email or a username.
New error message constants for invalid username and email credentials.
Changed
The sign-in form now sends the login method (email or username) to the backend.
The backend now uses the login method to return a more specific error message if the credentials are invalid.
The sign-in logic is now case-insensitive for both usernames and emails.
Deprecated
ERROR_MESSAGES.INVALID_CRED has been deprecated in favor of ERROR_MESSAGES.INVALID_EMAIL_CRED and ERROR_MESSAGES.INVALID_USERNAME_CRED.
Fixed
The error message for invalid credentials is now more specific to the login method.
Additional Information
This pull request addresses the feature request to allow sign-in with a username.
