Hello.

what are the allowed values/special characters for the “username” field?

I entered "k!%^)<>?"{}2" and got an error message saying "User name k!%^)<>?"{}2 is invalid, can only contain letters or digits". But I have been able to create usernames containing @, ' and _

Hi,

You can configure allowed characters as shown below;

services.Configure<IdentityOptions>(options =>
{
  options.User.AllowedUserNameCharacters = 
  "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ@";
});
