Has that functionality been added to use username and passwords to login?

No, we still only use email PINs and Google authentication now. I’m not sure it will ever be available, since Glide will have to encrypt and store username/password on their side if that’s the case.

We don’t recommend builders to do workarounds with components to achieve a username/password login since the data is stored directly as is, which might be a big trouble if that’s ever exposed to the hands of bad people.

Is it possible that the PIN code is sent to the mobile rather than to the email? Or, is this the same issue re storing passwords please.

Do you mean to the mobile number as a text message?  
No, that is not supported.

Of course if the user has an email client on their mobile device, then yes the PIN will be received on the mobile.
