What is betahaus.emaillogin?

The use of emailaddress are speading more and more but Plone does not have a convenient way to use a users registered email address to login.

betahaus.emaillogin makes it possible to login using the email address specified in the user profile.

Plone has a very powerful and modifiable authentication system called Pluggable Authentication Service (PAS). As the name suggest the system is pluggable and thus can easily be extended by third-party products such as this.
