Hi Devs,
Would it be possible to relax the regex which controls usernames? I
would like to use identifiable usernames, tied to a users email. Is
there any particular reason why we could not have a username like
foo@bar.com
Currently, I get something like . Only letters, numbers, spaces and
underscores are allowed.
I think this would make the creation of usernames a bit more user
friendly, as people could use their own emails and not have to
remember another login, plus it would be identifiable.

Great. Thanks for the quick fix Lars. This will be a big help.
Have also added a new/related blueprint on password recovery.

Yes that is something we need to work on now that most deployments are
online, requested many places already..
