The Geo theme has its own version of the log-in module template; but apparently it wasn't updated to include the email field. That's why it didn't display the field when you switched to the Geo theme. When you deleted/renamed the file, Tiki used the standard log-in template instead, which is why the email field came back.

    > I don't use anything but the standard Tiki login, but I suppose that email field is buggy. (I see in the templates/mod-login_box.tpl file "quick hack to make challenge/response work until 1.8 tiki auth overhaul" which doesn't really inspire maximum confidense.) Tiki is a huge program and some features have bugs, etc. Users who come across something that doesn't seem to work right should confirm that it is in fact a bug and not simply a configuration error or other installation-specific thing, and then file a bug report. In the meantime, turn off the feature that's busted, i.e., uncheck "Use challenge/response authentication" on Admininstration : Login.

    Thanks Gary,

    I know almost for sure the extra email field on *loggin-in* (that is not working), is a bug (less likely a corrupted file).
    As well as for that program on the Geo dir.
    But I don't know where to report it (except on this forum); don't know the technical language to report either, etc.?

    Meanwhile, it's not that important, beacuse its only meant as an extra security.
    Isn't it possible to have another security to combat hackers, trying to break passwords?
    See: login E107 program testQuestion
    "Please enter text in image"; thought with TW it's only possible on registering, not on loggin-in?
