Is it possible to set it up so that users can register for my site with only an email address? They would then be able to log in and edit their account info by just entering their email address.

I hope your Drupal installation is deployed as an Intranet. B/c making it that easy to change/edit account information is really not a good idea.

I realize this isn't a good idea from a security standpoint but I don't plan to have any real sensitive information on the user profiles. Basically, I will give them access to the site in exchange for their email address. Is this possible with Drupal?

Does anyone know which files I need to modify to do this?

Hi,

I'am looking for the same solution!

Why not have the choise for site admins to disable usernames on theire registration forms and use email addresses as usernames?
There is an 'Email registration' module out there, but not an elegant solution.

Could anyone advice?

By the way... Ubercart e-commerce module has an interesting solution for this. At checkout an account will be generated automatically for anonymous (non site user) customers, using theire email address. So, the email address will be both theire username and email address on the site.
Simple, is'n it?

But how to implement?

Br,

Zsigmond
