Change username and password fields?

Hello,

I am trying to build a member portal for our association, and was hoping to find a way to circumvent the default options of username and password to match the procedure used by the state and national associations, which is Last Name for one field, ID# for the other. Obviously, multiple people can have the same last name in this scenario, the distinguishing factor being their ID#.

Is there a way for me to implement this? Would I need to do it backwards and have the ID# be the username and somehow modify the password strength settings to allow short character-only passwords? Am I able to change the login display to read ID# and Last Name instead of username and password?

I appreciate any input!

Easy:

s2Member Options -> General -> Registration/Profile Fields Options

• Collect First/Last Names during Registration? –> set to NO
• Just above that go to: “Custom Registration/Profile Fields” and create a new Lastname and ID field and adjust the field type for each to set the allowed input.

Now, my only question is: Do they know what their ID# is or are you manually doing registrations?
