Hey, thanks for the reply, I need your help to understand it clearly I am a beginner that's why I am confused and your guidance will be helpful for me. So what I currently understand that I have to create a front page having login with username or email and have a password and on clicking the button it makes an AJAX request which can communicate with the server and the server will respond accordingly.

From my understanding everything is already created and he only wants to extend the functionality. So here's the thing, has of this moment, the users can only login with their username and not with their email address. So what he wants you to do, is create a functionality that will allowed users to login with either their username, or their email address. along with their password of course. Hopefully that make sense.

So we have to create a whole API with a database that saves user email/username and password in this?
