    Hi,

    I can't find the Require Unique Email option on V4. I don't want to restrict one email address with a specific account. Instead, a person with the same email address can create more than one account.

    How can I do that?

    This can't be done in v4.
    Email address have to be unique becauseuser can sign in using his email address and not login .

    Please can this be changed?
    One of the good things about V3 was that people could have multiple accounts, in my case the parents sign up and pay on behalf of their children who each have a unique login. I don't want parents with 3 children to be restricted to only one login.

    If I have existing users with same emails in V3, how is this going to impact the migrationn to V4 requiring unique email? Do I need to change the email addresses to be unique before upgrade to V4?

    amember will offer three options in this situation:
    1. Skip - imported user will be disregarded.
    2. Update - existing user will be updated (new subscriptions will be added)
    3. Overwrite - Existing user will be completly overwrited
