After first installing Weave, I was prompted to click on an icon to begin setup.  In the second of the five steps, I was asked to provide my login information, with a username and password.  However, this authentication repeatedly failed, until I instead provided my email address.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Weave
2. Go to login prompt
3. Enter "username" as requested
4. Expect to login with accurate information
Actual Results:  
Authentication fails.

Expected Results:  
I would have expected either a successful login with my user name, or instead a prompt to submit my email if that is the desired information.

This is really a minor issue of clarity.  Either require a username instead of the email, or specify that a user's email is requested.
