Meteor: How to log user in using username OR password

I have set up a custom login system with my Meteor applications where a created user has a username, email, password, profile (with many other non-important fields there)...

For my login I have the following function:

Meteor.loginWithPassword(username, password, function(err) {/* error feedback */});

At the moment this works perfectly for logging in with the username but I'd like to be able to log in with email address.

Is there a way to login with username OR email address?

Note that I've added validation on creating a username where the username cannot be an email so I am able to perform an "if isEmail" condition before applying this login function. Therefore the username and email won't be the same so that factor is not an issue.

You can just do something like this

Meteor.loginWithPassword(email, password, function(err) {/* error feedback */});
