//CustomMembershipProvider.cs

public class CustomMembershipProvider : CMS.MembershipProvider.CMSMembershipProvider
{
    public override bool ValidateUser(string username, string password)
    {
        if (ValidationHelper.IsEmail(username))
        {
            var customUsername = base.GetUserNameByEmail(username);
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(customUsername))
                username = customUsername;
        }
        

        return base.ValidateUser(username, password);
    }
