Should I use email or username for login?
Usernames Are Used Across Sites
If your login has an email only field you can benefit as well. Allowing users to log in with a username would help users who forget which email they used to sign up. Users have many email addresses and can't always remember which ones they used for which sites.
Is logging in with Google more secure?
Is it better to sign in with Google or email? From a privacy and data security standpoint, it's better to sign in with your email address, using a throwaway email for added privacy. From a convenience standpoint, it may be slightly easier and quicker to sign in with Google.
Why use email as username?
Email addresses are useful as users should already remember then and they don't have to think about anything. This is useful if you don't have a "username" on your app. Example: Paypal or Dropbox, where no user name is needed to use these apps and the email is the best way to connect with other people.
