Is it possible to sign in with user_email in WordPress?

1. Here’s how we do it:

   $user = get_user_by('email', $email);
   if (wp_check_password($password, $user->user_pass, $user->ID)) {
       // Login successfull, redirect if needed
       wp_set_auth_cookie($user->ID);
   }
   

   Assuming of course that you got the $email and the $password variables from a POST request or something 🙂
