Email Password Login

Email and password login is done through the form_login in symfony security.yml file. Notice that we use the user_provider located under the provider section. Also note that it looks for email as the property and not username.

Form Login With Provider

    provider: app_proivder
    switch_user: true
    form_login:
        login_path: login
        check_path: login

User Provider

    providers:
        app_proivder:
            entity:
                class: AppBundle:User
                property: email

There is nothing really to document here because symfony already done it. Read Symfony Form Login.
