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

Since coding my own ApplicationUserManager : UserManager class didn't work for me (maybe bc I use Razor Pages, not MVC), here's another solution: In Startup.cs in CofigureServices() you can configure Identity Options, for example:

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