I have always used emails where appropriate, as they are unique.... OR you can assign them a system generated username/password combo.

The signin uses a standard username/password. What do you feel is best for a username? Many sites use the persons email address while others allow them to just write in some text. The only disadvantage of the later method is that you have to make sure two different people do not have the same username. This is for a community project and I need to know asap.
