Remove Username from Registration Process

Hi, is there a recommendation of how to setup CB registration to exclude the username? I have managed to switch it off in the configuration, and I have disabled Joomla registration and made CB the only registration option. When I try to register the username field is hidden, but if I register it says 'Username in Use' I assume because it is still reading the field.

If I have to use it, then I would want to add the email address if possible.

Thanks/

Joomla still requires it. So if you turn it off CB will try to fill it using whatever Username Fallback you select within CB > Configuration > Registration. By default it falls back to Name, which isn't unique and can result in the issue you're seeing.

You can change the fallback to Email Address though, but if using SEF URLs the username is used there so you'll want to be use Profile Alias field is available so they can change their profile URL. Might be a good idea for us to implement an option for a randomly generated username fallback as well.
