Remove / Replace the username field with email using FOSUserBundle in Symfony2 / Symfony3

Question

I only want to have email as mode of login, I don\'t want to have username. Is it possible with symfony2/symfony3 and FOSUserbundle?

I read here http://groups.google

Answer 1

If none of them works, a quick and dirty solution would be

public function setEmail($email)
{
    $email = is_null($email) ? '' : $email;
    parent::setEmail($email);
    $this->setUsername(uniqid()); // We do not care about the username

    return $this;
}
