I tried to find replacement function for get_user_by_email($email) but no luck. This function I am using to allow user to log in by email address or user id. Is there any replacement function or alternate way to do that?

get_user_by is the replacement for get_user_by_email:
$user = get_user_by( 'email', '[email protected]' );
