I found a serious issue with this feature - if you enable it, any accounts that were not created using an email address that can be verified by a social login will not be able to login.

For example, if I create an account with `example@gmail.com`, enable Google login, and then uncheck `enable local logins`, I can login using Google. But, if I create an account with `example@domain.com` and uncheck `enable local logins`, that user is rendered useless. Would it be possible for the next release to include the option to enable local _signups_, but still have an active login field?
