Hi I am considering using profiles for a newsletter subscription: i.e email address is username , then FirstName lastName. However I also use email address as username in my forms security for a different purpose. I do not want profile subscriber 'users' to get access to my security. Can I do this without completely customizing the profiles. The problem is basically that the same email address could be a subscriber and authenticated for security so basically the question is can I keep my profiles and forms security seperate otherwise I will have some complex issues to deal with such as changes of email address in profiles conflicting with unchangeable usernames(for my purposes) in forms security.
