We need to craft Code at backend level which handles a username including @ character i don't think it's a good idea handling It at frontend level, so probably it's better doing It at backend level

Here is the related pull request which i think ill close It because It tried to implement It at frontend level https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-frontend/pull/838

Ok, so basically the feature request is to support the "@" character (and probably "." if we don't already) in usernames? So that a username can be an email address?

It happened when i tried to login in beta.dataverse.org frontend with my academic account as the URJC included @ in the username. Yes basically to handle @ usernames

If it's already done in backend maybe we would need to implement It in frontend, so frontend and backend could be synchronized

I am still getting such error, just tried to login with URJC account

Right, but I was thinking it might be nice to have an issue in the backend repo.
