Hi Heena,

You have information about configuring that in:
https://dev.liferay.com/discover/portal/-/knowledge_base/6-2/configuring-portal-settings

In following paragraph:

AUTHENTICATION
The Authentication page has several tabs: General, LDAP, CAS, Facebook, NTLM, OpenID, Open SSO and SiteMinder. You can use any of these authentication methods to configure how users will authenticate to Liferay. Since Liferay supports quite a few authentication methods, there are different settings for each.

The settings on the General tab of the Authentication page affect only Liferay functionality and don’t have anything to do with the integration options on the other tabs. The General tab allows you to customize Liferay’s standard authentication behavior. Specifically, the General tab allows you to select from several global authentication settings:

Authenticate via email address (default), screen name, or user ID (a numerical ID auto-generated in the database–not recommended).
