Configure Microsoft.AspNet.Identity to allow email address as username

Question

I\'m in the process of creating a new application and started out using EF6-rc1, Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Core 1.0.0-rc1, Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework 1.0.0-rc

Answer 1

In my case, running in VS 2013 C#, MVC 5.2.2, using ASP.NET Identity 2.0, the solution was to update the ApplicationUserManager constructor inside App_Start\IdentityConfig.cs like so:

public ApplicationUserManager(IUserStore store)
        : base(store)
    {
        this.UserValidator = new UserValidator(this) { AllowOnlyAlphanumericUserNames = false };
    }
