Hi Bastian,
you need to define the restrictions on the username field. It can be
done by including the code below inside usernameForm. This code is
from django/contrib/auth/forms.py -> UserCreationForm, you can refer
it to understand further.
username = forms.RegexField(label="Username", max_length=30,
regex=r'^[\w.@+-]+$',
help_text="Required. 30 characters or fewer. Letters, digits
and "
"@/./+/-/_ only.",
error_messages={
'invalid': "This value may contain only letters, numbers
and "
"@/./+/-/_ characters."})
thanks,
-pavan
