First, this is an issue with how your browser is "pre-populating" that
field, not the forum software. See attached for what I see when I
attempt to log in. This behavior is consistent in Firefox, Chrome, and
Safari.

Second, a "Username" is a user name and an email is an email. You should
be able to distinguish between the two. Again, please see the attached
login form. This hardly seems "confusing" to me. Again please see the
attached.
