Can you allow login without email in the Members app?

I'd like to allow users in if they have the correct password (it's odd, I know, but the use case for it makes sense). Is it possible to make the username optional at login?

How would you know which user it is? What if 2 or more users share the same password? What if the user enters their password incorrectly, but it turns out what they entered is another user's password?

We're creating the user's account manually and sharing their login info. We also don't plan on giving them a place to reset it. I know this sounds weird but it fits the use case. To clarify: I agree with you in 99.999999% of cases Hussein, this is just the .000001% situation where it's not an issue.

It's the .000001% situation where you need bespoke software rather than something inexpensive off the shelf.

I was simply asking if it's possible. If the answer is no then I can adjust, don't really feel this type response is needed when asking a question about an "official add-on" with virtually no documentation.
