I would suggest this is not a great idea. If you have a look at failed login attempts on your server, you will notice most of them are email address formats. Combine that with many of the password breaches in the wild (unrelated to blueonyx), it is likely that a percentage of your users have compromised accounts but they dont know it. I have seen attacks using these compromised lists… but the fact that our email systems dont use email address for login has more than likely prevented entry by the bad actors.
