For the first issue of inputting wrong email, this can be solved by email verification. For the second concern I agree if the user's email become invalid they will not be able to receive message to this address but they still have his account with the site. Since email will be used as the only identification here, I'm not very confident after changing it couple of times the user won't mess up his memory on the latest email for login.. Anyway, it's still a good point to give some consideration to. Thank you Anthony.
