Basically the solution is like this: from gluon.tools import Auth auth = Auth(db) auth.define_tables(username=False) db.auth_user.first_name.writable = db.auth_user.first_name.readable = False db.auth_user.last_name.writable = db.auth_user.last_name.readable =False
This will leave only email address/password. As I understand email address now is considered as username by web2py automatically? email address/password Sign Up makes possible users to become members realy quick. There is one downside though - what if they forgot which email address they use as an username? The solution is to have an alternative email address and retrieve_username to show Enter your email address. Then the user can enter his alternative Email address and there to receive his actual Email address used as an username. And how about a better option - the alternative Email address to be allowed to be used as an username - so to say to have a list of valid email addresses/password. How to achieve this?
