Feature description

Support more characters in usernames. Ideally hyphen/ dash - and @

Pitch

These are often used by lots of systems and can be mapped as an attribute so support for more chars would be great.

Are @ really used in usernames? Do you have an example of a service that uses an @ in the username?

Some platforms use email as username - anyone who uses MS Entra as an ID source often has this requirement as UPN is name@domain. Additionally, unless there is some technical limitation on what characters can be used in usernames it seems arbitrary to restrict.

This should be added in v0.4.0. Let me know if there are still too much constraints.
