-======Username======
+======Identity======
-The username which you need to provide is the one that you had registered at the //Git Winch// coordination server.
+You can login using either of your identity: The //username// or the //email address// that you had registered.
+To make things easy, we recommend that you login using your username. But if you had forgotten your username, you can also login using your email address. In that case, //Git Winch// will give a short message in the Log where you can read the username you had used.
 **IMPORTANT**\\
-Treat your //username// like your password: Never reveal it to all and sundry. You would need to reveal it only to Repository owners/managers who want to add you as member of that repository. All public information about the content you make (e.g. Kanban cards/comments/file-notes and commits) would be attributed to your actual //full name// and not this username. Read about [[fullname?do=export_xhtml| full name here.]]
