Is it possible to sign in with user_email in WordPress?

is it possible to sign in with user_email instead of user_login, please ?

Thanks.

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 🙂
