Hey, right now, this is problematic. See this thread:

For now, maybe something like:

In a model file:

def login_onfail():
    session.login_email = request.post_vars.email

auth.settings.login_onfail.append(login_onfail)

In default.py controller:

def user():
    if request.args(0) == 'login' and session.login_email:
        db.auth_user.email.default = session.login_email
        del session.login_email
    return dict(form=auth())
